The renowned radio host and one of the most trusted voices in the nation candidly and compassionately addresses the hotly contested right-to-die movement, of which she is one of our most inspiring champions. The basis for the acclaimed PBS series. Through interviews with terminally ill patients and their relatives, as well as physicians, ethicists, religious leaders, and representatives of both those who support and vigorously oppose this urgent movement, Rehm gives voice to a broad range of people personally linked to the realities of medical aid in dying. With characteristic evenhandedness, she provides the full context for this highly divisive issue and presents the fervent arguments—both for and against—that are propelling the current debate: Should we adopt laws allowing those who are dying to put an end to their suffering? Featuring a deeply personal foreword by John Grisham, When My Time Comes is a response to many misconceptions and misrepresentations of end-of-life care. It is a call to action—and to conscience—and it is an attempt to heal and soothe, reminding us that death, too, is an integral part of life. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM, coming soon!

In einem sehr persönlichen und bewegenden Buch spricht Diane Rehm, die mit ihrer Radio-Show in den USA ein Star ist, über die schwere Krankheit ihres Mannes John. Sie erzählt von Gesprächen mit ihm, die getragen sind von tiefer Liebe, Vertrauen und teilweise bestürzender Offenheit. Sein Tod schließlich ist für die Autorin eine Heldentat, denn der an Parkinson leidende John nimmt sein Leben in die Hand und beschließt zu sterben: Er weigert sich, Wasser, Nahrung und Medikamente zu sich zu nehmen. Nach Johns Tod ist Diane Rehm auf sich gestellt. Sie ist gezwungen, unvermeidlich auftretenden praktischen und - noch wichtiger - tief emotionalen Fragen und Herausforderungen zu begegnen. Zurück im Leben beginnt sie für die Bewegung des „Rechtes zu sterben“ aktiv zu werden. Mit der tapferen Entschlossenheit, die ihr ganzes Leben charakterisiert , findet sie einen sinnvollen neuen Weg, um in der Welt etwas beizutragen. Ihr Buch ist Hilfe und Trost für Trauernde und gibt Hoffnung, wie wir selbst uns unserer Sterblichkeit annähern können.
