Summary:
"A deeply moving and ultimately uplifting exploration of our last great challenge. In this profound and moving book, oncology nurse Janie Brown recounts twenty conversations she has had with the dying, including people close to her. Each conversation uncovers a different perspective on, and experience of death, while at the same time exploring its universalities. Offering extremely sensitive and wise insight into our final moments, Brown shows practical ways to facilitate the shift from feeling helpless about death to feeling hopeful; from fear to acceptance; from feeling disconnected and alone, to becoming part of the wider, collective story of our mortality. As Janie Brown writes, 'Most people now under sixty have never seen a person die, and so have become deeply fearful about death, their own and the deaths of their beloved others. They have had no role models to show them
how
to care for a dying person, and therefore no confidence in being able to do so. My
hope
is that the baby boomer cohort who pushed for the return of the midwives to de-medicalize birth will also be instrumental in reclaiming the death process. This book is my contribution to the re-empowerment of all of us to take charge of our lives and our deaths, remembering that
we
know
how
to die, just as
we
knew
how
to come into this world.
We
also know
how
to heal, and to settle our lives as best
we
can, before
we
die. In my view, this is the greatest gift
we
could give our loved ones: to be prepared and open and accepting when the time comes for us to leave this world." --From publisher.
