Todsicher
Wenn wir verstehen, was Sterbende erleben, ist es einfacher, zu helfen!Der Tod eines geliebten Menschen tut weh und bringt uns an unsere Grenzen. Wut, Trauer, Ohnmacht, Angst, Hilflosigkeit und fehlende ehrliche Worte, führen zu einer herausfordernden Belastung für Angehörige und Menschen, die helfen wollen, aber nicht wissen wie. Doch nicht jeder Abschied ist gleich: Die Art, wie ein Mensch stirbt, entscheidet darüber, welche Fragen uns verfolgen, was uns quält und wie wir wieder Halt finden können. Frank Pape nimmt seine Leser*innen mit hinein in die acht unterschiedlichen Arten des Sterbens (Tod durch Alter, Krankheit, Suizid, Kapitalverbrechen, Krieg, Unfall, ungeklärte Ursachen und den vorgeburtlichen bzw. frühkindlichen Tod) - ungeschönt, nah, erschütternd. Seine Botschaft lautet: Es gibt nicht den richtigen Weg, Sterbende zu begleiten. Aber: Je näher wir dran sind, desto einfacher ist es.

Was dicke Bücher und grüne Bananen mit dem Tod zu tun haben
Sterben für Anfänger - eine AnleitungNoch heißt es nicht: 'Kauf keine grünen Bananen mehr', aber es ist kurz vor: 'Fang keine dicken Bücher mehr an'. Mit 46 Jahren wird bei Simon Boas unheilbarer Krebs diagnostiziert - er war zu spät erkannt worden und hatte sich in seinem Körper ausgebreitet. Aber er ist entschlossen, so zu sterben, wie er gelebt hat - optimistisch, mit dem Glauben an das Gute in den Menschen und die Kraft der Freundlichkeit, mit Blick auf das, was wirklich wichtig ist im Leben. In Was dicke Bücher und grüne Bananen mit dem Tod zu tun haben versammelt er alles, was ihm ein so tiefes Gefühl von innerem Frieden und Positivität vermittelt hat. Mit viel Humor und bewundernswertem Gleichmut zeigt er, warum es eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm ist, mit 46 Jahren zu sterben. Deshalb geht es in seinem Buch nicht nur um das gute Sterben, vielmehr ist es eine Hymne an das Leben. Damit hilft er uns allen, uns auf die wirklich wichtigen Dinge zu besinnen und dem Tod den nötigen Platz im Leben einzuräumen.
