一段關於生與死的真誠對談「談談心裡的想法，並不代表一定會發生，這只是代表當這個想法成真的時候，你已經做好了準備。」 每個人都希望自己能和所愛之人，過上理想的生活直到終老。但在多數人眼中，死亡與臨終是難以啟齒的議題。也許一輩子未曾思量過；也許思量過，卻未得結果，也沒有與人討論的勇氣。因此，本書以童話寓言的方式，引導讀者們去思索──當疾病或年邁讓人無法再為自己的生活做決定時，該如何保有自主權，有尊嚴且不留遺憾地走完生命的最後一哩路？故事以一隻無法正確報時的失智公雞拉開了序幕，帶出老人與兔子對生命傳承以及善終的一連串探討。 無法再自己做決定時，誰該為我做決定？ 德國著名「安寧緩和醫療」權威醫生貝倫．費德森以富懷同理心、淺顯易懂的筆觸，透過討喜的人物角色、幽默對話與溫馨插圖，來處理臨終課題，鼓勵人們即時為預立醫療決定、醫療委任代理人等重要事項做準備，並將自己的想法與所愛之人分享。另一方面，本書也協助親屬們充分瞭解年邁者和患者的臨終生活願望、對於醫療措施的意願，進而與醫療團隊做出最好的決策。面對疾病與死亡時，以下問題值得提前設想或預先計畫：l 你有什麼喜好？（例如音樂、喜愛的菜餚、飲料、環境、香氣、人生觀、理念……）l 假如你如廁時需要協助的話，第一個會詢問誰？l 在照護、碰觸與私密度方面，你有什麼特殊要求嗎？l 你希望如何安葬？安葬在何處呢？ 天氣預報說今日只有70%的降雨機率，有些人會帶傘，有些人則不會。同理，當面對必然消亡的共同命運時，每個人的決定也不盡相同。是以，在為時已晚之前，開啟這樣的對話，永遠都不會嫌太早。無論你處於生命中的哪一個階段，本書都將為你帶來豐富的收穫與幫助。 短語推薦「死亡是必然，思考死亡才能更珍惜生命，追尋有意義的人生。對死後的世界有正面的信念，與家人探討自己對生命末期的抉擇，可以避免無意義的延命醫療。預立醫囑，保障尊嚴善終。這本書輕鬆談嚴肅課題，老少咸宜。」畢柳鶯復健科醫師、《斷食善終》作者 「我決定帶著這本書去到我每一個進行預立醫療照護諮商的場合。唯有清楚討論了生命消逝時的照顧維度，才開始擁有了活著的自由。這是由深富經驗、幽默且誠懇的安寧醫療權威送給每個人的精準羅盤，堪稱航程中的人生必備。
