About this audiobook
We all hope for dying well and living fully until we do. The truth is that we don’t have a choice about whether or not we’re going to die but sometimes we have a choice about whether our dying is going to be easier or harder. Hospice is about treating people rather than treating disease. It looks beyond the physical suffering and includes the whole family.
