Opis

This book is for people who have questions about the end of life in other words, all of us. Gregory Eastwood, a physician and ethicist, confronts questions such as: what to expect, how to prepare for death, what to do when you get there. The book helps us to prepare for our death or that of loved ones in a careful, thoughtful, and practical way.

Recenzje

If you expect to be hit by a bus, this book isn't for you. But you're much, much more likely to die of a disease with a long downhill course, such as heart disease, cancer, or a neurological condition, and so this book really is for you. Gregory Eastwood shows us how we can hope to create our final chapters, not merely slide into them through ignorance or a sense of loss of control, but with the resources of modern medicine. Being able to do this is a gift.
