Just Published: "Courageous Conversations on Dying - the Gift of Palliative Care"

This is a practical guide for physicians, healthcare providers and all the people they serve. Thus a good book for the physician and the patient alike.

I have been working on this for over a year and a half at least. It is a distillation of my work and knowledge I gained from many mentors, colleagues, students, patients, friends and families.

The time for these conversations on end of life goal-setting is now while we still have the capacity to make our own decisions.
No need to be shy and reticent. One never knows when the time for the tough decisions will come, but come it will.

In this book you will learn how, why when and where to have these important conversations including the words to use, how to be a good listener, how to empathize, how to help others in the decision-making, how to properly document your end of life wishes and much more. It is full of practical tips and case studies from years of experience.

I hope you find it helpful and to your liking.
Peace
