Description
In 2007 Dave deBronkart learned that he was almost dead with Stage IV kidney cancer: he read that his median survival was just 24 weeks. As he prepared to enter treatment - with low odds of success - he faced the reality that his life might be over, and literally pictured his funeral. Drawing on teachings from physicians and spiritualists, this short book shares the perspective Dave developed: preparing for the end while still maintaining reality-based hope.
