Synopsis

A moving book on palliative care by an acclaimed writer

Pain is fundamental to our existence, signalling what requires our attention. But while pain is inevitable, suffering does not need to be. Palliative care aims to reduce both the pain and suffering associated with serious illnesses.

In this sensitive and beautifully written book, acclaimed author Jerry Pinto delves into the realm of palliative care through intimate stories of patients, families and devoted caregivers. Their wish to live fully and meaningfully transforms our perception of palliative care, allowing us to reflect on our own health, both in the present and in the future. A Good Life is a poignant exploration of hope and humanity, making it an essential read.
