Overview: A joyful book about the necessity of celebrating life in the face of death.
The one certainty about life is that everybody is going to die. Yet somehow as a society we have come to deny this central fact – we ignore it, hoping it will go away. Ours is an aging society, where we are all living longer, healthier lives, yet we find ourselves less and less prepared for our inevitable end.
Leah Kaminsky is an award-winning writer and GP, who is confronted by death and mortality on a daily basis. She shares – and challenges – our fears of death and dying. But she also takes joy in people whose response to their imminent death is to choose, instead, to consciously embrace life. Like 90 year old Julia, a great-great-grandmother, officially an LOL in Leah’s medical terminology (little old lady), who wants to compete in the Senior Olympics. Or a dying friend, who throws himself a ‘pre-funeral’ gig, to say goodbye to everyone he loves. As Leah says in this uplifting book, ‘If we truly open ourselves up to the experiences of those directly confronted with their own mortality, maybe we will overcome our own tunnel vision and decide to live our lives more fully.
