After learning that her beloved father Bob’s death was rapidly approaching, Lisa Twigg knew what she had to do: give him the best death possible. The family took the unconventional step of taking Bob out of care and, in late 2023, he died from dementia at home. It was one of the most moving things that has happened to Lisa.
It is estimated that 421,000 Australians are currently living with dementia. In her first book
80 Years Without Dementia, Lisa advocated for greater compassion and awareness about dementia. Part journal and part how-to guide, The Gift of a Good Death picks up where the first book left off and describes the process of watching Bob move along in his end-of-life journey and what that meant for the family. And, by explaining the processes that allowed this to happen, Lisa provides a blueprint for all families to start and record conversations about death and dying, rather than shying away from them.
Lisa is a true advocate for the dying and their families.
The Gift of a Good Death is a must-read for anyone with ageing family members or those living with a chronic illness. Blending emotional resilience with practical planning, it helps families find peace in moments of stress and grief.
