Dying Ways

di Dale Heim (Autore)

Brimir & Blainn, 2025

In the end, there is only the story we leave behind. For over fifty years, palliative nurse Dale Heim has been a keeper of stories—whispered confessions, defiant last wishes, and unexpected moments of grace at life’s closing. In Dying Ways, she shares raw, tender stories from the frontlines of mortality: A tantric teacher who swims with dolphins as her final act of freedom; A grandmother dancing with butterfly tattoos over mastectomy scars; A WWII survivor serenaded by the Hallelujah Chorus as she takes her last breath; and many more. With unflinching honesty and deep compassion, Dale reveals how death reshapes the living—offering lessons in forgiveness, acceptance, and the courage to live fully even as the light fades. From the chaos of trauma wards to quiet hospice rooms, she shows that dying is not an end but a poignant, human art. Perfect for fans of Paul Kalanithi’s “When Breath Becomes Air” and Caitlin Doughty’s “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes”, this is an essential companion for caregivers, grievers, and anyone who fears mortality’s shadow. Because, as Dale reminds us, “Death is only ugly if we allow it to be. Accept the truth, and it can be beautiful, too." Includes "Need Support?" section with books, music, and resources for continuing the journey.
