Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Well I have been a doctor 26 years. My sister dies when I was 20 years. This is almost poetic in its stark Hemingway style of narration of a loved mother's death. I cannot think of anyone who should not read this book. Family, love, pain, compassion, loss, and a beautiful family end.

Excerpts from a Family Medical Dictionary is an intimate, exquisite, and true account of what it is to help a parent die. After her mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, former home care worker and award-winning writer Rebecca Brown cared for her mother during the last six months of her life. This spare, unsentimental book comes out of that experience. In short chapters headed by definitions of medical terms, she confronts anemia, chemotherapy, metastasis, cremation. Brown's is a poignant and unflinching story of how one family coped with loss and learned about the longevity of love.The Wisconsin edition is for sale only in North America.
