The night before New Year's Eve, while they were sitting down to dinner, he suffered a massive and fatal coronary. The two had lived and worked side by side for nearly 40 years.

"El Duelo es un territorio oscuro, misterioso, casi inaccesible. Una conmoción que nos sorprende, nos toma desprevenidos y cambia nuestro entorno en un instante. No importa lo preparados que creamos estar para enfrentar una pérdida, esa preparación jamás será suficiente. Cuando ocurre, todo se desmorona y por un tiempo nada tiene sentido. Algo se quiebra en nosotros, el mundo se derrumba y nos muestra su aspecto más cruel." Con estas palabras describe Gabriel Rolón cuál será el camino a transitar en su nuevo ensayo: la pérdida.

Uma das maiores referências sobre Cuidados Paliativos no Brasil, Ana Claudia Quintana Arantes aborda o tema da finitude sob um ângulo surpreendente. Segundo ela, o que deveria nos assustar não é a morte em si, mas a possibilidade de chegarmos ao fim da vida sem aproveitá-la, de não usarmos nosso tempo da maneira que gostaríamos. Invertendo a perspectiva do senso comum, somos levados a repensar nossa própria existência e a oferecer às pessoas ao re dor a oportunidade de viverem bem até o dia de sua partida.

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross created her classic seminal work, On Death and Dying, to offer us a new perspective on the terminally ill. It is not a psychoanalytic study, nor is it a "how-to" manual for managing death. Rather, it refocuses on the patient as a human being and a teacher, in the hope that we will learn from him or her about the final stages of life.

"As a hypnotherapist I have come to deeply respect the power of the subconscious mind. I believe the root cause of becoming overweight is usually mental, emotional and spiritual, rather than physical. When you change your mind, the body follows automatically. Then you lose weight easily, steadily, seemingly without effort." - Linda Gabriel
