How We Die: Reflections on Life's Final Chapter | 
One downfall of city living: my view is a parking lot 🙄
“Dignity is something, said John, that the survivors snatch— it is in their minds that it exists, if it exists at all. Those of us left behind search for dignity in order not to think ill of ourselves.”
A few good morsels about death, but I feel like it could have said more. Enjoyed his personal accounts of cases that moved him— very empathetic and readily able to reflect.
so-soThis book was intersecting defiantly heard of people who loved it. although I lost interest in the parts where the author went deep into how we die. I preferred the parts where he talked about his personal experiences.
Anyone know where I can get a free audio book version of this ASAP 😂. School reading. Can‘t find it on overdrive #audiobook #help
pickI arrived at this after having it recommended by Paul Kalanithi in When Breath Becomes Air.
Dr Nuland takes a clinical AND humane tour through heart disease, Alzheimer's, AIDS and cancer explaining how each draws us to our necessary ends.
A remarkable effort that is simultaneously dis- and com-passionate. Maybe I've just been feeling morbid for the two years since my father died or maybe death is not the scary monster we sometimes believe it.
