Dietitian and health coach Jessica Cording had always thought that she'd be prepared to cope if a loved one were to become ill, but when her father was diagnosed at age 61 with advanced pancreatic cancer, she quickly realized she had a lot to learn as her family turned their lives upside down to care for him.

A veteran of the music industry with an irreverent sense of humor, Cording's father referred to the last months of his life as "The Farewell Tour." As his cancer journey progressed, the mental and physical demands of that journey progressed as well. Just like those of a band or production team going on the road with an artist, the demands began to affect his family's everyday routines. Much like any tour, there was a lot of hard work and stress, but there were also a lot of memories created in the process.

Cording is an expert in daily practices that can boost your overall health, mood, and mental wellness. Inspired by her own experience and the experiences of her patients' families, The Farewell Tour is a resource for caregivers of all kinds--whether dealing with terminal illness or ongoing needs--who find themselves burned out and isolated. Along with her personal story, Cording shares helpful tips on:

- Sleep hacks
- Simplifying routines
- Quick healthy eating
- Handling unsolicited advice
- Navigating changing relationships
- Preparing for end of life

With Cording's warm sense of humor and personal anecdotes, as well as tips from a range of wellness experts and musical artists with actual touring experience, this is a resource all caregivers can benefit from.
