She learned that nothing - even the best palliative care - can sugar-coat the pain of losing someone you love. \u003cbr\u003eAnd 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eDear Life\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 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.
