Summary
The last book from bestselling author and advocate Wendy Mitchell
Wendy Mitchell doesn’t fear anything anymore. After her diagnosis of young-onset dementia in 2014, all of Wendy's old fears - the dark, animals - melted away. What more was there to be afraid of when she faced her worst fear: losing her own mind?
While living with her diagnosis and facing the extreme changes that come along with a progressive terminal illness, Wendy wrote two Sunday Times-bestselling books, went skydiving for the first time and supports multiple dementia advocacy groups in the UK. She is known for talking about living with dementia, but now – while she is still able to – she explores dying with it.
In One Last Thing, Wendy embarks on a journey to explore all angles of death: how we can prepare for it, how we talk about it with our loved ones and how we can be empowered to make our own choices. With conversations on the topic of assisted dying, from those who are fighting to make it legal to those vehemently opposed to its practice, Wendy reminds us that to get on with the business of living, we need to talk about death.

Inspiring
Brave, powerful and convincing - Wendy‘s voice is so important and needs to be heard. This final part of her story will change the way end-of-life provision is discussed. It must.

Exceptional
Thank you my friend for writing this amazing book, which I chose to listen to on Audible in order to capture your own voice. We have discussed these matters privately in the past among a group of friends, but people need to be encouraged to discuss death and dying much more openly, exploring individual wishes and the right to a full range of choices. It is not a subject to shy away from, but rather one to embrace. I was incredibly moved by the epilogue that you wrote, which I know will continue to give hope to others more newly diagnosed.

Lots of food for thought
Thank you Wendy for such an insight into dementia. I’m also enjoying following your blog too. Bless you for the courage and stamina to achieve this beautifully written and well read production. Always such a blessing to hear the author reading their own work.
