A reflection and guide on finding hope at the end of a lifetime.
In Radical Acts of Love, Janie Brown, oncology nurse of 30 years and counsellor of cancer patients with terminal diagnoses, recounts 20 conversations she has had with the dying, including those personally close to her. Each conversation uncovers a different perspective and experience of death, while at the same time exploring its universalities.
As well as offering an extremely sensitive and wise insight into our final moments, Brown gives practical ways to facilitate the shift from feeling helpless about death to feeling hopeful; from fear to acceptance; from feeling disconnected and alone, to becoming part of the wider, collective story of our mortality.
'Compassionate, sensitive and heart-warming tales of the one thing in life that’s certain.'
Professor Stephen Westaby
'These conversations from the heart of dying are bold, gracious, often witty and full of love. They accompany you in the dark. Then they let the light in.'
Jackie Kay
