When beginning her career in Palliative Medicine, the author first met Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. This meeting introduced her to the importance of being aware of one' s own emotional issues when working with people who are suffering. As Elisabeth said, "You need to deal with your own sh*t first". The book relates stories of people at the end of life who have continued to teach the author the importance of self-awareness. With more awareness there is less likelihood of projecting one' s own issues into the situation and less likelihood of developing compassion fatigue or ' burnout' . It is also more possible to facilitate hope, healing and meaning for the dying.
"Thank you, Elisabeth is an exquisitely honest and moving account of the journeys a palliative care physician and her patients travel together. It is an insightful book that highlights the importance of the practice of self-reflection, where there are new learnings in every encounter. I honour Sue Marsden for the wisdom, insight and experience she brings to the field of Palliative Care. " - LIESE GROOT-ALBERTS, PALLIATIVE CARE EDUCATOR

She facilitated at these and similar workshops in New Zealand, Australia, USA, Zimbabwe and South East Asia. At the same time Sue taught palliative medicine, as well as in Australasia, in South East Asia and Samoa. She has served on the Hospice New Zealand Council and the Asia Pacific Hospice and Palliative Care Network Council while working in various hospital, hospice and community settings in New Zealand and Australia as a palliative medicine specialist. Sue has three children and four energetic grandchildren. Whenever she can she skis, walks, travels and reads.
