AnnotationIn 1995, at the age of 42, the author suffered a near-fatal stroke. Since this life-changing event, McCrum has become aware of his own mortality. More than twenty years later, he is noticing that, for his contemporaries, death has become their "every third thought". This book explores his journey through a year, towards a better understanding of death. He recounts the experiences of others, also those working in hospices and other specialist areas of health care relating to death and dying. (RH).
