Health - Death - Paliative Care

- Real life stories, familiar and emotional, are used to illustrate each of the tasks. - A book about the needs that we will all have in our lives, sooner or later. - A positive book which helps the reader to connect to and reevaluate the most important aspects of his or her life.

At the end of their lives, everyone faces the same questions: Am I ready? Do I have anything to sort out? What am I really afraid of? There are five tasks that we all usually need to complete so that we can say goodbye in peace: ask for forgiveness, grant forgiveness, give thanks, say “I love you” and say “goodbye”. Through real-life stories of the patients that the author has accompanied to the end of their lives, we appreciate the importance of completing these tasks and discover the stage we are at with ours.
