Book Review: "The Good Death"

“Death is not a medical experience—it’s a human one.”

I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to review “The Good Death,” which was provided to me by NetGalley with no obligation in the form of an advance review copy. It will be available from Amazon.com in March 2025.

Author Suzanne O’Brien, RN, says a good death is a calm one, with no fearful, panicked reactions from family members gathered around the deathbed. “Death doesn’t have to be scary,” she writes, “and our fear of it is misguided.”

As a former hospice nurse and now a death doula, O’Brien knows what she’s talking about. She has had years of experience, and her book shows it. For the full book review, see my website post at glorialesher.com.
