Its one of those books where what you read makes sense and where you kind of already know the points, but it still nice to get in touch with again. I particularly enjoyed the parts about the importance of listening skills and Diane’s reflections on identity and identification.

A deeply touching book about death and dying. Kathryn Mannix tells beautiful and sorrowful stories from her work as a paliative care nurse and writes about how to have conversations about and around the end of life.
