Description
Wendy Mitchell's latest book explores one of life's most difficult conversations: dying. After being diagnosed with young-onset dementia in 2014, Wendy faced her worst fear - losing her own mind - and discovered that she no longer feared anything else. In "One Last Thing", she embarks on a journey to explore all angles of death, including how we can prepare for it, how we talk about it with our loved ones, and how we can be empowered to make our own choices. Wendy's book is a thought-provoking exploration of the end-of-life conversation. She examines assisted dying from both sides - those fighting to make it legal and those vehemently opposed to its practice - and reminds us that to get on with the business of living, we need to talk about death. This book will give hope and courage to many people facing similar challenges. With her characteristic passion and energy, Wendy Mitchell shares her own experiences and insights from her advocacy work in the UK. "One Last Thing" is a powerful and uplifting read that will encourage you to think differently about dying and living.
