"I felt like I was in the room – I felt like I was experiencing some of the same emotions – those raw emotions that are so precious to people who love." Camille Hopkins, Researcher, University of Chicago

"I was drawn into the power and beauty of this incredible story of love and companionship, and the truth-telling of journeying together through life, into death, and more life. My heart was broken open to those deeper places within me that long for connection, reconciliation, and belonging. I was moved with gratitude and wonder."
Mary Elizabeth Peterson, Hospice Chaplain, Portland, Oregon |

"opens our hearts to a tenderness and compassion which might well serve to awaken us to a deeper sense of openness and presence, a gripping and soulful performance."
Rev. Dr. Glenn H. Turner, Portland, Maine |
Eliott escreve, "Acredito que A Finished Heart incorpora o belo sentimento português de saudade. Para mim, luto não é o preço que pagamos pelo amor, mas o próprio amor."
