"Dr. Kathy Kortes-Miller's extensive experience in palliative care and her own personal connection with death and dying are clearly evident in her book and illuminate the shadows surrounding this topic. Learning how to communicate effectively with caregivers, families, healthcare providers and employers is crucial to making death less daunting, and Dr. Kortes-Miller's unique perspective from both sides of the equation is thoughtfully expressed. From conversation starters to suggestions on what questions to ask, this book will help people and families navigate towards a good death and, ultimately, a good life." -- Ian Bos, activist and cross-Canada walker for hospice care, "Kortes-Miller pulls the shroud off dying and offers practical suggestions that will help patients, families, and healthcare professionals deal with end-of-life choices, options, and realities." - Sandra Martin, author of the award-winning bestseller, A Good Death: Making the Most of Our Final Choices "I have always appreciated Kathy Kortes-Miller's well-earned status as a key opinion leader in end-of-life care. Her terrific and highly readable book, Talking About Death Won't Kill You should be considered essential reading. With insights born of her commitment to her profession, Kathy Kortes-Miller gives readers concrete strategies when facing life's end. Rather than preaching, she empowers both patients and caregivers with questions that help focus on strengths. One of my favorites: 'what challenge have you overcome in the past? How can you use those skills and resources to help face the challenges of end of life?'" - Kathy Kastner, blogger at BestEndings.com and author of Death Kills... and other things I've learned on the internet, "Kortes-Miller pulls the shroud off dying and offers practical suggestions that will help patients, families, and healthcare professionals deal with end-of-life choices, options, and realities." -- Sandra Martin, author of the award-winning bestseller, A Good Death: Making the Most of Our Final Choices, "This challenging book asks readers to face their fears of dying, and it will help those who do be more prepared for their own deaths and to ease the grief of loved ones." -- Publishers Weekly, "I have always appreciated Kathy Kortes-Miller's well-earned status as a key opinion leader in end-of-life care.

This practical handbook will equip readers with the tools to have meaningful conversations about death and dying., This practical handbook will equip readers with the tools to have meaningful conversations about death and dying Death is a part of life. We used to understand this, and in the past, loved ones generally died at home with family around them.

Talking About Death Won't Kill You is the essential handbook to help Canadians navigate personal and medical decisions for the best quality of life for the end of our lives.
