by Cristina Llagostera (Author)
The proximity of death is always accompanied by pain but, on occasions, when there is a time of preparation for the person and their environment, death offers the opportunity to complete life from consciousness. Faced with the vital challenge posed by the trance of death, as inescapable as it is often denied or ignored, we need perspectives that enrich our understanding. With the purpose of offering guidance and comfort to people who are in this process, Cristina Llagostera, a psychologist specializing in palliative care and a pioneer in Spain in accompaniment when dying, explores ten psychological and existential issues that provide a more open and profound dimension of death. Along with these teachings, this book shares the moving testimonies of people of different ages and conditions who managed to find calm, transcend suffering and connect with what is essential.
