The Art of Dying Well: A Practical Guide to a Good End of Life by Katy Butler
As I get older and loved ones die, the question of a good death has become important to me. Not only to help those I love leave this life as peacefully as possible but also that my own death will be the same. I have read many books on death and dying but none has resonated with me as much as
The Art of Dying Well: A Practical Guide to a Good End of Life by Katy Butler. It is a practical guide to all stages of the stages of life and of dying. It is well organized and includes a glossary, resources, notes, an index and many thought provoking as well as ways to plan for that best death.
If I'm not to die without a struggle in the middle of the night, I want to be ready, I want my family to know my wishes, I want my doctors to listen to me, I want palliative care, I want to face death and look it in the eye on my terms. I also want to be able to help those that will go before me do the same.
I borrowed this book from my local library but need my own copy. I'd like to buy a few copies to give to others. The Art of Dying Well is chock full of useful information but is also a personal read, a personal journey, a personal experience for each individual. Highly recommended.
