About The Author

Maureen P. Keeley, PH.D.

Maureen Keeley and Julie Yingling’s combined experience totals 65 years of teaching, research, and writing about communication. Julie earned her Ph.D. in 1981 and Maureen received hers in 1994. They met at the University of Iowa, where Maureen was completing her doctorate and Julie was a visiting professor. In 2002, they discovered that no one had taken on the scientific study of how people interact and communicate when one of them is dying. Maureen was the first to see this gap in our knowledge and approached Julie to explore it with her. They wrote Final Conversations- Helping the Living and the Dying Talk to Each Other and it was published in 2007 by VanderWyk & Burnham.
