Helping to open up a conversation about dying and death

In the End: A practical guide to dying is a book for everyone. It is not just for those at the end of their life; it is for families, carers, friends, health professionals, counsellors and those who just want to be well prepared. It can help to open up a conversation on an often taboo subject, but an experience we'll all eventually share.

Not confronting or challenging, the book provides information and practical resources to help better understand dying and to plan a unique and positive end of life.
