In Radical Acts of Love Janie Brown oncology nurse of thirty years and counsellor of cancer
patients with terminal diagnoses recounts twenty conversations she has had with the dying
including those personally close to her. Each conversation uncovers a different perspective and
experience of death while at the same time exploring its universalities.As well as offering an
extremely sensitive and wise insight into our final moments Brown offers practical ways to
facilitate the shift from feeling helpless about death to feeling hopeful from fear to
acceptance from feeling disconnected and alone to becoming part of the wider collective
story of our mortality.
