In 1994, Gwen invited her 80-year-old widowed father to move from PA. to CA. to live with her. They bought a 1914 home and remodeled it together. The Healing House, The Gift of Dad's Final Years describes their story and how this home became a metaphor for the transformation of their individual lives and their relationship. Five years later, Gwen shared his hospice home care with her sister, Carole. She found that the ultimate gift of her father's final years came after his death when Gwen saw a vision of him alive and vital on the Other Side.
