About product “It’s time to talk about death. This book is a way to get started. » It seems that reading stories about dying people smells of masochism. However, Catherine Mannix, after more than thirty years in palliative care, is convinced that it can help us like a bitter pill. But with what? The problem with modern society is that if all possible aspects of birth and love are widely discussed, the topic of death is taboo. But this is as much an integral part of life as all of the above. With deep reflections on life, death and what is in between, Dr. Mannix describes the opportunity to face death — his own or someone else’s — gently, with foresight and preparation, and shows the unexpected beauty, dignity and deep humanity of life coming to an end. «With sometimes disturbing details, but with the right compassion and a touch of humor, Dr. Mannix provides valuable lessons for those facing the loss of a family member or their own illness.» — The Wall Street Journal “This book is one of the finest I have ever read. It consists of a memoir, a self-help guide, practical advice and a professional creed. Mannix’s compassion is bottomless. » — Bookforum Abstract Katherine Mannix has worked in palliative care for more than thirty years and says with all responsibility: we have the wrong approach to death, which is probably the most taboo topic in our life. If all sorts of issues related to sex and love, previously tabooed, now come to the fore and are discussed, they try not to remember death and push them as far as possible in their minds, only black humor has the right to this topic. However, the topic of death is serious and requires calm and thorough reflection. Dr. Mannix shares stories from his practice of caring for patients and their families, introduces us to the process of natural dying, and argues for the therapeutic power of accepting death. This book is about how everything really happens. It will allow you to look in a new way on the topic of death, so that you can do and say the most important thing not only at the end, but throughout your life.
