Acompañar es cuidar

This is not a book: it is a hand extended to accompany us on the path of saying goodbye. By the president of the Spanish Society for Palliative Care. We all struggle with goodbyes, even more so when they are forever. We forget that they, too, are part of life. Often, we lack the tools to approach it as it deserves, to help others and ourselves sustain it. Without realizing it, we live with our backs turned to death. However, the stories that fill these pages are stories of life. Dr. Elia Martínez, president of the Spanish Society for Palliative Care, shows us how, even in the darkest moments, we have the power to shine a light. For this reason, it is important to learn to ignite that flame and illuminate the path. Because endings are as important as beginnings, and they deserve to be experienced with tenderness and humanity.
