La mort intime

Synopsis of La mort intime

«La mort intime» is an essay by Marie de Hennezel on death and accompaniment, published by Robert Laffont in paperback, in French.

Marie de Hennezel, a psychologist in a palliative care unit, recounts her experience alongside people facing death, both patients and friends. She shows that even in pain there is room for joy, life and intense encounters; the dying teach us to live. François Mitterrand writes the preface and defines it as a lesson in life.

The subtitle of the work is «Ceux qui vont mourir nous apprennent à vivre». It is part of the collection «Aider la vie».

A work of interest to readers of psychology and philosophy, and to those facing grief or accompanying terminally ill patients.
