When her own mother died, Margaret Rice realised how completely
unprepared she and her family had been for the experience of
companioning a loved one who is dying. So she decided to go in
search of the information she couldn't find when she most needed it
and write the book herself - a novice's guide to death. We live in
a period of intense death denial. But what if we were to smash that
taboo and ask questions we want answered, like how do we know when
someone is close to dying, and how do we best care for them? What
actually happens to our body when we die? How do we work with
medical experts? How do we deal with the non-medical issues that
will come up, such as wills, finances and even social media
passwords? Is morphine used to nudge death along or is this just a
myth? Where do questions about euthanasia fit in with personal,
lived experience? Margaret Rice lifts the lid on the taboos that
surround death, sharing practical information and compassionate
advice from multiple sources to break down boundaries and offer
better choices of care to suit individual needs. This is a book to
help the dying and their carers feel less isolated, and help us all
face death better.
