El Buen Morir

Thanks to advances in medicine, we have become accustomed to denying the presence of death as a natural part of life. From dying in the private space of the house, we have gone to the sparsity of a hospital stretcher, where we find a health system poorly prepared to emotionally guide the patient and their families in this difficult process. In the struggle to avoid death at all costs, we have lost the ability to understand it and face it when, sooner or later, the time comes. In this book, Dr. Elmer Huerta gives us a basic guide to prepare before, during, and after grief. The reader will find a voice that, without superstitions or fears and based on up-to-date medical and legal information, will help them navigate the arrival of death, support the bereaved and make decisions about how to live their last days"--
