ISBN: 9781583949733 - die wise: a manifesto for sanity and soul (28 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A palliative care veteran's unflinching manifesto on death, dying, and grief, and what it truly means to die well Most of us hope for a long life and a quick death, ideally one we never see coming. Stephen Jenkinson spent decades managing palliative care programs and directing children's grief centers, and has seen firsthand what that wish costs: in a culture that treats death as a medical failure, the dying are sedated with hope, measured by "quality of life," and urged to fight for more time rather than living fully with the time they have. Die Wise is not a gentle balm or an end-of-life planning checklist. It offers no quick solutions or five-step guides to death and loss. It is a provocation and an invitation: an argument that dying well is not a private preference but a moral, political, and spiritual responsibility, one we owe to those who came before us and those who will follow. Drawing on bedside stories, his own close encounters with mortality, and ancestral ways of honoring the dead, Jenkinson asks into the essential questions that most books on death and grief avoid. Inside, you'll find: A searching critique of how modern medicine manages death instead of making room for it A hard look at hope, "quality of life," and the push for assisted dying as symptoms of a death-phobic culture Grief reframed as a vital skill and a way of loving, not a problem to be fixed Why hiding death from children, families, and ourselves leaves us uninitiated and unmoored For caregivers, death workers, the grieving, and anyone reckoning with their own mortality, Die Wise offers the chance to meet death awake, with care, awe, and responsibility.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A potentially life-changing book for anyone wanting to experience grief and death in a more meaningful way. Grounded in the author's experiences with hundreds of dying people and their families, the book advocates a bold engagement with a part of the human experience that is often more endured than lived. In its own unique way, Die Wise is more about living than dying.A fierce, lyrical manifesto that dares readers to face death without sentimentality-and reveals dying well as one of the deepest acts of living, loving, and human responsibility.Die Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down.
