DEAR LIFE - RACHEL CLARKE TASCHENBUCH

'Her words are brimful of love  grace and kindness' Guardian     'She writes with a tender 
lyrical beauty' Sunday Times     A deeply personal memoir that finds light and love in the
darkest of places.    As a specialist in palliative medicine  Dr Rachel Clarke chooses to
inhabit a place many people would find too tragic to contemplate. Every day she tries to bring
care and comfort to those reaching the end of their lives and to help make dying more bearable.
Rachel's training was put to the test in 2017 when her beloved GP father was diagnosed with
terminal cancer. She learned that nothing - even the best palliative care - can sugar-coat the
pain of losing someone you love.   And yet  she argues  in a hospice there is more of what
matters in life - more love  more strength  more kindness  more joy  more tenderness  more
grace  more compassion - than you could ever imagine. For if there is a difference between
people who know they are dying and the rest of us  it is simply this: that the terminally ill
know their time is running out  while we live as though we have all the time in the world.    
Dear Life is a book about the vital importance of human connection  by the doctor we would all
want by our sides at a time of crisis. It is a love letter - to a father  to a profession  to
life itself.
