520 _a"There is hope after a terminal or progressive illness. These diagnoses can sharpen the mind, make us more mindful of living for the day. That is our incredible human instinct for survival, our ability to see the light through the dark clouds. Living with dementia nine years on, the clouds descend more frequently now. What keeps me going during those foggy days is hope - hope that tomorrow will be a better day, hope that just as I have been able to adapt to life with a progressive illness, I will be able to adapt to life with the end in mind. But what will that look like? See this book as a gift, a focus on the present day by glancing - just a peek - into the future. Some of the stories and answers will be sad, others will make you laugh, but to get on with the business of living, we need to talk about death."--
