À propos de cet audio

 "With Radical Acts of Love, Janie Brown demonstrates the power of a book to transform, in fact to turn things upside down. She turns death into life, despair into hope, sorrow into joy, and pain into love with these twenty astonishing encounters with the dying. We all know somewhere in the back of our minds that a deeper understanding and acceptance of death is supposed to release us into an even fiercer embrace of life—this wonderful book made me, for the first time, truly feel and believe it." —Stephen Fry

In this profound and moving book, oncology nurse Janie Brown recounts twenty conversations she has had with the dying, including people close to her. Each conversation uncovers a different perspective on, and experience of death, while at the same time exploring its universalities. Offering extremely sensitive and wise insight into our final moments, Brown shows 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.

As Janie Brown writes, "Most people now under sixty have never seen a person die, and so have become deeply fearful about death, their own and the deaths of their beloved others. They have had no role models to show them how to care for a dying person, and therefore no confidence in being able to do so. My hope is that the baby boomer cohort who pushed for the return of the midwives to de-medicalize birth will also be instrumental in reclaiming the death process. This book is my contribution to the re-empowerment of all of us to take charge of our lives and our deaths, remembering that we know how to die, just as we knew how to come into this world. We also know how to heal, and to settle our lives as best we can, before we die. In my view, this is the greatest gift we could give our loved ones: to be prepared and open and accepting when the time comes for us to leave this world."

Janie's stories are filled with heartfelt wisdom and compassion. An invaluable read for all of us to reflect on the gift of our own life and dying process. She also highlights the beauty of those who bless us wth love in their support and care giving, and hold us in their hearts as they grieve and mourn after we are gone. Thank you for all you do in service to others at such a tender and sacred time.

Truly beautiful.

This is a beautiful, wise and ultimately hopeful book. Listening to Janie’s gentle voice reading is like being wrapped in a comforting hug. I’d absolutely recommend this to anybody who cares for people nearing the end of their life.

Beautiful

I absolutely loved this book. The stories were expertly weaved by the author. I found it very helpful, as recently found out a close friend was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I feel that I have the capacity, and a few more tools, resources and hope to offer now.
Being a nurse like the author, we see so much death and sadness in our line of work. I will listen again, and probably again to this wonderful book. The author, who also narrates the book, gave a wonderful performance.

Amazing listen

I think listening to the audiobook makes this an even better experience but I will also get the hardcover just to hold and savour it. Janie Brown's heart and soul show in this book and her sensitivity to everyone she writes about is breathtaking. You can feel her love. She is so giving yet still has love for the next person she encounters. She makes the reader aware that death is natural and can be beautiful. As a cancer patient listening to this book has lessened my fear of death. I hope she continues to write.

I love this book

By recounting stories and conversations, Janie gives us words we can use for difficult conversations about cancer, pain and end of life. The person living with cancer, the spouse and friend, the counsellor’s inner thoughts - we are all included in this book. I was so moved. It really matters that it is read by the author. There is much more than words here.
