This is the autobiography of former Welsh international footballer
Phil 'Joe' Dwyer, who played over 450 games for Cardiff City.
The story of the end-of-life experience of a palliative care
physician who helped thousands of patients to die well. We all die.
Most of us spend the majority of our lives ignoring this
uncomfortable truth, but Dr. Larry Librach dedicated his life and
his career to helping his patients navigate their final journey.
Then, in April 2013, Larry was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic
cancer. Unlike the majority of us, Larry knew the death he wanted.
He wanted to die at home, surrounded by his family: his wife of
forty years, his children, and his grandchildren. He did. He was
peaceful and calm at the end. Larry proved that the "good death"
isn't a myth. It can be done, and he showed us how. Ever the
teacher, Larry made his last journey a teachable moment on how to
die the best death possible, even with a pernicious disease. As
hard as it is to guide patients toward dying well, it is far harder
to live those precepts day by day as the clock ticks down to one's
own death, but Larry, together with author Phil Dwyer, chronicled
his final journey with courage and humour.
