| 內容簡介： |
On 29 January 2008 Philip Gould was told he had cancer. He was
stoical, and set about his treatment, determined to fight his
illness. In the face of difficult decisions he sought always to
understand the disease and the various medical options open to him,
supported by his wife Gail and their two daughters, Georgia and
Grace. In 2010, after two hard years of chemotherapy and surgery,
the tests came up clear - Philip appeared to have won the battle.
But his work as a key strategist for the Labour party took its
toll, and feeling ill six months later, he insisted on one extra,
precautionary test, which told him that the cancer had returned.
Thus began Philip''s long, painful but ultimately optimistic journey
towards death, during which time he began to appreciate and make
sense of his life, his work and his relationships in a way he had
never thought possible. He realized something that he had never
heard articulated before: death need not be only negative or
painful, it can be life-affirming and revelatory. Written during
the last few months of his life, When I Die describes the journey
Philip took with his illness, leaving to us what he called his
lessons from the death zone. This courageous, profoundly moving and
inspiring work is as valuable a legacy to the world as anyone could
wish to bestow - hugely uplifting, beautifully written with
extraordinary insight.
