À propos de cet audio
For listeners of Atul Gawande and Paul Kalanithi, a palliative care doctor's breathtaking stories from 30 years spent caring for the dying.
Modern medical technology is allowing us to live longer and fuller lives than ever before. And for the most part, that is good news. But with changes in the way we understand medicine come changes in the way we understand death. Once a familiar and gentle process, death has come to be something from which we shy away, preferring to fight it desperately than to accept its inevitability.
Palliative care has a long tradition in Britain, where Dr. Kathryn Mannix has practiced it for 30 years. In this book, she shares beautifully crafted stories from a lifetime of caring for the dying. With insightful meditations on life, death, and the space between them, With the End in Mind describes the possibility of meeting death gently, with forethought and preparation, and shows the unexpected beauty, dignity, and profound humanity of life coming to an end.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

magnificent
As a health care professional, as a mother, a wife, a human, I have found this book incredible in reducing my own fears about dying while providing insight for caring about individuals in their later stage of life.

A calm voice amour the storm I find myself in.
8 weeks ago we received the news that my wonderful full of life 80 year old mom has stage 3b terminal lung cancer. Mom wants to live at home through to the end. My dad and I are committed to do so especially with covid. This book is wonderfully written and Kathryn shares her expertise in detail throughout. The stories are fascinating and I see a bit of our story in many. It made me cry, weep actually, but inspired me and gave me hope. So clearly the dialogue has given me the words to discuss the future and the process of dying with my brothers and my parents. Well so far mom. Dad isn’t there yet. The narrator is skilled I love the dialects from the across England and even France. The narrator is fantastic I felt like Kathryn is holding my hand through this. One of my key takeaways is that it is a team. I need to be open to having the proper team around us. I have been though the death of 3 people I loved dearly and we were never told these things even from the palliative doctors.

A courageous must read bringing Hope
Although a very emotional read, I appreciated being educated and sitting with my feelings before having to live one or more of these scenarios out.
Beautifully and compassionately written of multiple peoples powerful and humorous stories
