Dear Life: A Doctor's Story of Love and Loss by Rachel Clarke
challenging
emotional
medium-paced
3.75
Breathtakingly heartbreaking.
Dr Rachel Clarke is an excellant pallative care doctor and shows the reader the way how hospices are full of life and love.
The story of Maria and Pete, the elderly couple who been together from teens and still together for 50+ years reminded me on my own grandparents and the endless love. The dying wife and the worry of the husband who has never been alone.
The care Dr Clarkes father receives is beautiful and surrounded by family and love, reminding me despite cancer cruelness it doesnt break a family. The fact that so many hospice are underfunded and rely on charities and donations is disgusting.
The last few chapters had me in tears.
