With reluctance, it seems. While we are fully aware of death on a social level, for example witnessing violent killings on television, we have become increasingly shy of communicating about death on a personal level. For example, while a general bookshop is crammed with cheerful and informative books about pregnancy and birth, in comparison, the number of general or self-help books on death and dying is negligible. Off the screen few of us will have witnessed a death or seen a corpse. Death has become frightening and unfamiliar. But, we are being forced as individuals and as a society to pay more attention to the issue because as medical science becomes ever more sophisticated, we are living longer and our deaths are becoming more protracted. The number of people over 65 in the UK and US will increase by one-third in the next ten years. Therefore we need to inform and prepare ourselves better so that we can take more control of what is likely to be the most challenging and demanding phase of our lives. By dealing with dying and death in an open, honest and practical way this book seeks to address the confusion and the contemporary taboos and denial around it. This book covers: how death is defined; approaching death in the right spirit, when possible; the practicalities - making a legal and a living will; dying in hospital, at a hospice, and at home, and the professionals involved; what to expect at a death; and after a death - funerals, memorials, anniversaries.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547471126801,"sku":"GOR004839082","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0859699900.jpg?v=1750747114"},{"product_id":"my-colonial-childhood-book-julia-tugendhat-9780957070707","title":"My Colonial Childhood","description":"My Colonial Childhood is a poignant and beautifully observed personal account of the comings and goings of a civil service family in the British Protectorate of Tanganyika before it became known as Tanzania in 1961. The author's ancestors who included a jailbird, a famous poet, missionaries and methodists were ordinary people who did some extraordinary things. With historical hindsight the author realizes that the life she and her two sisters led as children of the British Empire was equally extraordinary. Her description of the social and professional activities of her father and mother casts light on how a small white minority was able to govern a vast alien territory. She gives an amusing account of how her essentially English upbringing and education had to adapt to life in the wilderness. Finally, she laments the emotional dislocation each family member suffered on leaving a beloved Africa for what now felt like an alien Britain.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49577459220753,"sku":"GOR010673963","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50934328000785,"sku":"GOR005720147","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52858356007185,"sku":"NIN9780957070707","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957070705.jpg?v=1753687540"},{"product_id":"living-with-loss-and-grief-book-julia-tugendhat-9780859699440","title":"Living with Loss and Grief","description":"Grief always hurts.

Fifteen-year-old Lord William Lennox attends the famous ball in Brussels on 15 June 1815 when Wellington learns that Napoleon's army has invaded Belgium, and he witnesses the start of the battle. A seventeen-year-old ensign fresh from England is terrified and bewildered by his first taste of battle. Two young German brothers find themselves on the battlefield by mistake. There is a French drummer boy proud to belong to Napoleon's army. And there is six-year-old Mary Adwicke, one of the children whose mothers marched behind their soldier husbands and encamped near the battlefield. All the glory and gore of the battle is vividly evoked and set in a clear context so that the events of the day are easy to follow. Children at the Battle of Waterloo is a fascinating introduction to the history of warfare, is soundly researched, original and written with warmth and humanity. Julia Tugendhat has written a number of therapeutic self-help books as well as 11 books for children under the name of Julia Dobson.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49630381539601,"sku":"GOR008168331","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0957070713.jpg?v=1751298206"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-julia-tugendhat.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
