El Buen Morir
Description:
Based on the author's professional and personal experience, this brief guide will help us, through compassion and scientific evidence, face our mortality with independence and dignity. Thanks to advances in medicine, we have grown accustomed to denying the presence of death as a natural part of life. From dying in the private space of the home, we have moved to the confines of a hospital gurney, where we find a healthcare system ill-equipped to emotionally guide patients and their families through this difficult process. In the struggle to avoid death at all costs, we have lost the ability to understand and confront it when, sooner or later, its time arrives. In this book, Dr. Elmer Huerta provides us with a basic guide to prepare ourselves before, during, and after grieving. The reader will find a voice that, free from superstitions or fears and grounded in up-to-date medical and legal information, will help them navigate the arrival of death, support the bereaved, and make decisions about how to live their final days.
