Media reviews

"Unique... Of all the books I have read about the endings of our lives, this elegiac testimony has taught me the most." - Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D., author of How We Die

"This book is a lesson in life.  The light it sheds is more intense than any mere knowledge could provide." -President Francois Mitterand

"The quiet, obvious truth [de Hennezel] discovers in her work—these things have a kind of cumulative power."- Washington Post Book World

About the author

Marie de Hennezel was born in France in 1946. She started her career as a psychologist working with women in distress and with cases of advanced psychosis. In 1987, she joined the staff of the first palliative care unit in a Paris hospital for people with terminal illnesses, where she gathered the experiences she describes in this book. She founded the Bernard Dutant Association: AIDS and Re-Empowerment in 1990, in memory of a friend who died of AIDS, and gives lectures on approaching the end of life and seminars on accompanying the dying. She lives in Paris with her husband and children.
