Katherine Mannix has worked for more than thirty years in palliative care and declares with full responsibility: we are wrong about death. This topic is probably the most taboo in our lives. If all kinds of questions regarding gender and love, taboo earlier, are now coming to the fore and are being discussed, they try not to remember about death and push it as far as possible in the mind, only black humor has the right to this topic. However, the topic of death is serious and requires reflection - calm and thorough. Dr. Mannix shares stories from his practice of caring for patients and their families, introduces us to the process of natural dying, and argues for the therapeutic power of death acceptance. This book is about how things really happen. It will allow you to take a fresh look at the topic of death in order to be able to do and say the most important thing not only at the end, but throughout your life.
