croise son chemin. Elle est pourtant une étape incontournable que nous allons tous traverser. Et surtout, elle peut être riche d'enseignement, car la vie et la mort sont deux notions inséparables. Pour Hélène Giroux, accepter et côtoyer cette dimension mystérieuse du parcours humain lui permet de développer un regard différent sur la vie. Devenue accompagnatrice auprès des mourants, elle réalise rapidement que la mort peut être une formidable école de vie et un puissant appel à vivre plus consciemment. Depuis, les moments qu'elle passe auprès des gens en fin de vie sont, à ce jour, ses instants les plus nourrissants dans sa quête de bonheur et du sens de l'existence. Ces mourants qu'elle accompagne lui transmettent, sans même sans rendre compte, de précieuses leçons de vie, tels l'importance du moment présent, la résilience, la compassion, l'unicité, l'espoir, le don de soi et l'amour, pour n'en nommer que quelques-unes. Elle nous les partage à travers cet ouvrage, en souhaitant qu'elles puissent nous inspirer dans notre quête du bonheur et de la sérénité. 2015.Les morts nous parlent

you for dying," palliative care doctor B.J. Miller and Shoshana Berger write in A Beginner's Guide to the End. "Our ultimate purpose here isn't so much to help you die as it is to free up as much life as possible until you do." Theirs is a clear-eyed and big-hearted action plan for approaching the end of life, written to help readers feel more in control of an experience that so often seems anything but controllable. Their book offers everything from step-by-step instructions for how to do your paperwork and navigate the healthcare system to answers to questions you might be afraid to ask your doctor, like whether or not sex is still okay when you're sick. You'll be walked through how to break the news to your employer, whether to share old secrets with your family, how to face friends who might not be as empathetic as you'd hoped, and to how to talk to your children about your will. (Don't worry: if anyone gets snippy, it'll likely be their spouses, not them.) There are also lessons for survivors, like how to shut down a loved one's social media accounts, clean out the house, and write a great eulogy. An honest, surprising, and detailed-oriented guide to the most universal of all experiences, A Beginner's Guide to the End is the one book that everyone needs.
