This book, written and illustrated by Mónica Lalanda and Daniel Ramos, both doctors specializing in palliative care, answers with clarity, tenderness and rigor the big questions that arise at the end of life.
Through its pages, it offers a comprehensive guide to myths, common symptoms, physical and emotional care, the work of the healthcare team, the role of the family, advance care, spirituality, palliative sedation, the dying process, and grief. Designed for professionals, caregivers, and anyone who doesn't want to face this moment without answers. A work that informs, supports, and transforms.
