Advice from the Edge of Life

Louise Page sadly lost her battle with cancer in May 2013. Shortly before she died she shared her thoughts on how your attitude to life changes when you're so close to death. Intimate, honest and utterly compelling, Louise's re-appraisal of what's most important in life together with her fears for her loved ones and how they'll cope when she's gone are simply heartbreaking. Along with Louise's own thoughts and excerpts of her beautifully written blog, her husband, now widower, Alan shares his account of how they coped as a couple, knowing time was running out.
