FINALIST for Foreword's Indie Book of the Year UPDATED for 2024
Kirkus Reviews recommendation: "Get it"
Being present at the bedside—EVEN AT THE MOMENT OF DEATH—can become an experience embedded in the minds and souls of family members for generations. It is a deeply emotional time, one of relief and sadness. Anyone who has taken that final journey with a loved one will never forget those moments. Dr. Edward Creagan has dedicated his life to death. And now this esteemed medical doctor examines death, not only from a medical standpoint, but from an acutely emotional perspective as events beyond our control unfold. For more than forty years, he has been at the bedside with patients at the Mayo Clinic, addressing the end-of-life questions patients and families ask.
This book is about navigating those last days, at the bedside, and saying farewell with hope, love, and compassion. Dr. Ed answers these questions and more: How can we die a good death? What happens at the deathbed? What is death, actually? Doc, how long do I have to live? What is hospice? What if the family doesn't agree on treatment? How to control pain at the end of life? What is DNR? Should there be a feeding tube? Who pulls the plug? Help me understand the advance directive? Who cares for the caregivers? How to use this book at the bedside—From the Introduction: "Sadly, many of you may be reading this book because you are sitting at the bedside of a loved one whose health is declining. You are in the eye of the medical storm. I hope my words give you the hope I have given to thousands of families and patients over the years in my practice at the Mayo Clinic."
Dr. Ed welcomes your feedback at AskDoctorEd.com; follow his blogs on the empowered patient, physician burnout, and observations about life (and death). View his short TikTok talks @dr.edcreagan.

Modern medical technology is allowing us to live longer and fuller lives than ever before. But with changes in the way we understand medicine come changes in the way we understand death. Once a familiar and gentle process, death has come to be something from which we shy away, preferring to fight it desperately than to accept its inevitability. Palliative care has a long tradition in Britain, where Dr. Kathryn Mannix has practiced it for 30 years. In this book, she shares beautifully crafted stories from a lifetime of caring for the dying.

In Being Mortal, best-selling author Atul Gawande tackles the hardest challenge of his profession: how medicine can not only improve life but also the process of its ending. Medicine has triumphed in modern times, transforming birth, injury, and infectious disease from harrowing to manageable. But in the inevitable condition of aging and death, the goals of medicine seem too frequently to run counter to the interest of the human spirit.

An inspiring, informative, and practical guide to navigating end-of-life issues, by a groundbreaking expert in the field and the New York Times best-selling author of Knocking on Heaven’s Door. Katy Butler argues that we have lost touch with the “art of dying” as practiced by our ancestors, yet we still hunger for rites of passage and a sense of the sacred, especially in the important life transitions of aging and dying.
