everyone should listen to this
I had just suffered the lost of my mother in law when I listened to this. in places that made this book a very tough listen. The author suggests we have forgotten what dying looks like and this was true for us. The author is sensitive and factual the process she describes was our experience. I would like to say thank you to the author - whilst too late to help prepare us it has been useful to make sense of questions we had - like how the Dr knew it was going to happen for instance why did she have a brilliant up day (an absolute gift btw) and the author has explained what maybe the Dr didn't have time too. Respect to her for her choice career.

A must read for all
I really enjoyed this book. It was uplifting and heartwarming. A great account of how we can all improve our lives through normalising and accepting dying.

Moving and humane
Beautifully written and read. Kathryn M is a doctor in palliative /end of life care and shares in this book stories of many of her patients and their experiences. Her message is that we all need to think and talk about the inevitability of death and our wishes around this and how we would plan to meet it, but it is a book full to the brim of love, kindness, wisdom and life. Written with great sensitivity, a quality she obviously uses to the full with those in her care. Highly recommend.

A sensitive book on life, love and loss
My beloved has inoprable cancer. I listened to this book to help me understand what I can do to help us both manage what's ahead. It has helped enormously. I hope I can use my new insights to give my beloved the most meaningful life, my deepest love and my best care in the months ahead. Thank you Katheyn for writing the book. The chosen narrator was excellent and made it easy to listen and be absorbed by every chapter.

And eye opening, soul-enriching delight
As a nurse with an interest in palliative care, I found this audiobook to be both informative and inspiring.
The various stories and their telling have helped me broaden my insight into the specialism I am aiming to enter. But more than this, it has challenged some of my previous notions of communication in palliative care and of dying in general. I would encourage everyone to read this book or listen to this audiobook, as the overarching theme can only help improve and uplift our layman’s understanding of death.
If you are worried about dying, for yourself or for someone else, this book will go a long way to giving you the facts and perspective required to find peace and understanding with the one thing no person can avoid forever.
I am grateful for this audiobook, and for the brilliant author.

Excellent! You will not want to put it down.
Tears. Laughs. Real life. Humbling.
Dr Kathryn Mannix is an absolute legend in the world of palliative care - but please know you do not have to work in healthcare, or in palliative care to enjoy this book.
It is truly a very real account of looking after those in their final walk of life. Truly amazing.
Would go as far as saying this is my favourite book!

Thought-provoking on the subject of death
Some really carefully-chosen anecdotes about those who are going through the processes of dying, sympathetically but sensibly described. Mannix brings up some thought-provoking ideas relating to death, which I found myself contemplating after listening. Well-read and easy to follow.
