Abstract

◆ This book offers an honest, heartfelt perspective on life and mortality from a physician who has accompanied numerous patients in their final moments.

◆ After facing the passing of many patients throughout his medical career—combined with enduring the loss of his own father and battling cancer himself—the author reflects on how death became deeply personal to him. This profound journey, he shares, allowed him to truly empathize and connect with the hearts of patients and their families on a whole new level.

◆ Across 33 carefully written chapters, he gently and thoughtfully explores the most essential questions: What does it mean to possess a life? What does it truly mean to live? And what is death?

◆ To live a more fulfilling life, pondering our own mortality is vital. The author firmly believes that contemplating "how we want to die" fundamentally changes "how we choose to live" each day.

◆ Let us explore these thoughts together, ensuring that when the time comes to bid farewell to a loved one, both the individual and their family can feel a profound sense of peace and happiness—leading to a parting filled with as few regrets as possible.
