I thought there were wonderful insights and very thought provoking.

[Alan Marr]

This is a very well written, helpful book about a difficult topic that I have has to explore for myself this year. There are some powerful arguments for opening up the dying process -to see it as a part of living. There are practical suggestions for planning ones one departure but perhaps more importantly to assist others on the journey too.

This book got shelved as I looked into other books on dementia specifically. I'll come back to this one.
