We have forgotten how to mourn with the dying. Even more so: we often leave them alone in their final moments. But why do we suppress saying goodbye so much? Why is grief a state that we must overcome as quickly as possible? End-of-life companion Sabrina Görlitz writes wisely, lovingly, and unflinchingly about the emotions at the end of a life. She shares her own pain as she accompanied her father to his death and the moving moments with the dying, whose life memories she documented as a storyteller in the palliative care unit. She also wonders how she can prepare her own child for her eventual death. In a touching way, this narrative nonfiction encourages the dying and their loved ones to feel all the emotions that need to be felt. We are allowed and should give words to death and endure it together.
