Cuando el final se acerca : Cómo afrontar la muerte con sabiduría

Kathryn Mannix, a pioneering doctor and palliative care specialist, offers answers to the most intimate questions surrounding the dying process, doing so with a touching sensitivity and sincerity. Through a series of stories drawn from her clinical experience over four decades as a physician, the author demonstrates that facing death clearly and openly, with serenity and knowledge, holds immense therapeutic power. The stories in this book show how those who are dying cling to those who remain; not because the latter are braver or extraordinary, but because that is what we human beings do. These testimonies guide us on how to act in the most difficult moments. Some are poignant, others tragic, some are even humorous, and they always contain wisdom. This is an essential book for everyone: for those who are grieving or experiencing loss, for the sick, and also for those who are healthy. By reading it, we will all be better prepared for life, and also for death.
