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.

When Breath Becomes Air
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST • This inspiring, exquisitely observed memoir finds hope and beauty in the face of insurmountable odds as an idealistic young neurosurgeon attempts to answer the question What makes a life worth living? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • People • NPR • The Washington Post • Slate • Harper's Bazaar • Time Out New York • Publishers Weekly • BookPage Finalist for the PEN Center USA Literary Award in Creative Nonfiction and the Books for a Better Life Award in Inspirational MemoirAt the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade's worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. One day he was a doctor treating the dying, and the next he was a patient struggling to live. And just like that, the future he and his wife had imagined evaporated. When Breath Becomes Air chronicles Kalanithi's transformation from a naïve medical student "possessed," as he wrote, "by the question of what, given that all organisms die, makes a virtuous and meaningful life" into a neurosurgeon at Stanford working in the brain, the most critical place for human identity, and finally into a patient and new father confronting his own mortality. What makes life worth living in the face of death? What do you do when the future, no longer a ladder toward your goals in life, flattens out into a perpetual present? What does it mean to have a child, to nurture a new life as another fades away? These are some of the questions Kalanithi wrestles with in this profoundly moving, exquisitely observed memoir. Paul Kalanithi died in March 2015, while working on this book, yet his words live on as a guide and a gift to us all. "I began to realize that coming face to face with my own mortality, in a sense, had changed nothing and everything," he wrote. "Seven words from Samuel Beckett began to repeat in my head: 'I can't go on. I'll go on.'" When Breath Becomes Air is an unforgettable, life-affirming reflection on the challenge of facing death and on the relationship between doctor and patient, from a brilliant writer who became both.

Bevor ich jetzt gehe
Ein bewegendes Memoir und eine inspirierende Antwort auf die Frage: Was macht ein Leben lebenswert?'Wer dieses Buch gelesen hat, wird es nie wieder vergessen.' The New York TimesMit gerade einmal 36 Jahren wird bei Paul Kalanithi, der kurz vor dem Abschluss seiner zehnjährigen Ausbildung zum Neurochirurgen steht, Lungenkrebs im fortgeschrittenen Stadium diagnostiziert. An einem Tag noch Arzt, der Sterbende behandelt, wird er am nächsten Tag zum Patienten, der um sein Leben kämpft. Seine berufliche Karriere, die gemeinsame Zukunft mit seiner Frau Lucy, alles löst sich in Luft auf. Doch Paul gibt nicht auf. Er beginnt zu schreiben: Was macht das eigene Leben lebenswert? Was tun, wenn die Lebensleiter keine weiteren Stufen bereithält? Was bedeutet es, ein Kind zu bekommen, wenn das eigene Leben zu Ende geht? Bewegend schildert der junge Arzt in diesem Vermächtnis an seine Tochter seine Gedanken über die ganz großen Fragen und seinen Abschied vom Leben. 'Bevor ich jetzt gehe' ist eine lebensbejahende Reflexion über die Auseinandersetzung mit unserer Sterblichkeit und über die Beziehung zwischen Arzt und Patient, von einem begnadeten Schriftsteller, der beides war. Eines der BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, People, NPR, The Washington Post, Slate, Harper's Bazaar, Time Out New York, Publishers Weekly, BookPage
