What colour is cancer? Why do some people appear to have made miraculous recoveries? How can you tell when someone is in the final hours of their life? How can we ensure our most vulnerable are treated with the dignity they deserve? In this unprecedented book, palliative medicine pioneer Dr Kathryn Mannix explores the biggest taboo in our society and the only certainty we all share: death. Told through a series of beautifully crafted stories taken from nearly four decades of clinical practice, her book answers the most intimate questions about the process of dying with touching honesty and humanity. She makes a compelling case for the therapeutic power of approaching death not with trepidation, but with openness, clarity, and understanding. With the End in Mind is a book for all of us: the grieving and bereaved, ill and healthy. Open these pages and you will find stories about people who could have been your friend, your sister, your dad, your son. You will meet Holly, who danced her last day away; Eric, the retired head teacher who, even with Motor Neurone Disease, gets things done; loving, tender-hearted Nelly and Joe, each living a lonely lie to save their beloved from distress; and Sylvie, 19, dying of leukaemia, sewing a cushion for her mum to hug by the fire after she has died. These are just four of the book's thirty-odd stories of normal humans, dying normal human deaths. They show how the dying embrace living not because they are unusual or brave, but because that's what humans do. By turns touching, tragic, at times funny and always wise, they offer us illumination, models for action, and hope. Read it, and you'll be better prepared for life as well as death.

Through stories from her own practice, a palliative care doctor and therapist takes the reader on a journey through 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, peaceful, and gentle - if sorrowful - process, death has come to be something from which we shield our eyes, preferring to fight desperately against it rather than accept its inevitability. Palliative care has a long tradition in Britain, where Dr. Kathryn Mannix has studied and practiced it for 30 years. In WITH THE END IN MIND, she shares beautifully crafted stories from a lifetime of caring for the dying. Weaving her own experiences as a caregiver through stories of her patients, their families, and their distinctive lives, Dr. Mannix reacquaints us with the universal, but deeply personal, process of dying. With insightful meditations on life, death, and the space between them, WITH THE END IN MIND is a remarkably moving book that sheds a warm light on the beauty, dignity, and profound humanity of life coming to an end.
