Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A palliative care veteran's unflinching manifesto on death, dying, and grief, and what it truly means to die well Most of us hope for a long life and a quick death, ideally one we never see coming. Stephen Jenkinson spent decades managing palliative care programs and directing children's grief centers, and has seen firsthand what that wish costs: in a culture that treats death as a medical failure, the dying are sedated with hope, measured by "quality of life," and urged to fight for more time rather than living fully with the time they have. Die Wise is not a gentle balm or an end-of-life planning checklist. It offers no quick solutions or five-step guides to death and loss. It is a provocation and an invitation: an argument that dying well is not a private preference but a moral, political, and spiritual responsibility, one we owe to those who came before us and those who will follow. Drawing on bedside stories, his own close encounters with mortality, and ancestral ways of honoring the dead, Jenkinson asks into the essential questions that most books on death and grief avoid. Inside, you'll find: A searching critique of how modern medicine manages death instead of making room for it A hard look at hope, "quality of life," and the push for assisted dying as symptoms of a death-phobic culture Grief reframed as a vital skill and a way of loving, not a problem to be fixed Why hiding death from children, families, and ourselves leaves us uninitiated and unmoored For caregivers, death workers, the grieving, and anyone reckoning with their own mortality, Die Wise offers the chance to meet death awake, with care, awe, and responsibility.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In his landmark provocative style, Stephen Jenkinson makes the case that we must birth a new generation of elders, one poised and willing to be true stewards of the planet and its species. Come of Age does not offer tips on how to be a better senior citizen or how to be kinder to our elders. Rather, with lyrical prose and incisive insight, Stephen Jenkinson explores the great paradox of elderhood in North America: how we are awash in the aged and yet somehow lacking in wisdom; how we relegate senior citizens to the corner of the house while simultaneously heralding them as sage elders simply by virtue of their age. Our own unreconciled relationship with what it means to be an elder has yielded a culture nearly bereft of them. Meanwhile, the planet boils, and the younger generation boils with anger over being left an environment and sociopolitical landscape deeply scarred and broken. Taking on the sacred cow of the family, Jenkinson argues that elderhood is a function rather than an identity-it is not a position earned simply by the number of years on the planet or the title "parent" or "grandparent." As with his seminal book Die Wise, Jenkinson interweaves rich personal stories with iconoclastic observations that will leave readers radically rethinking their concept of what it takes to be an elder and the risks of doing otherwise. Part critique, part call to action,Come of Ageis a love songinviting us-imploring us-to elderhood in this time of trouble. That time is now. We're an hour before dawn, and first light will show the carnage, or the courage, we bequeath to the generations to come.…
