Publisher's summary

Bloomsbury presents One Last Thing written and read by Wendy Mitchell.

The last book from bestselling author and advocate Wendy Mitchell

‘This beautiful book will give hope and courage to many people’ Kathryn Mannix
‘An uplifting memoir that reminds us we should relish every moment’ Daily Mail
‘A really thoughtful and thorough exploration of end-of-life concerns’ Professor Celia Kizinger

After her diagnosis of young-onset dementia in 2014, Wendy spoke affectionately about the liberating feeling that came with having open conversations and confronting life’s obstacles head on. So, in the years leading up to her death, Wendy set out to have what would be her most important conversation: to explore what options are available – and what options are denied – at the end of life.

Courageous, balanced and wise, One Last Thing lists the practical ways that we can prepare for death, offers the gentle words to raise the topic with our loved ones and consults leading experts to educate us on the topic of assisted dying.

Critic reviews

Very compelling . . . A really thoughtful and thorough exploration of end-of-life concerns – shared, I know, by many people with dementia diagnoses and their families. Strong and clear about your own values, you recognise and support others' choices too. (Professor Celia Kizinger)
One Last Thing is wonderful .... [Wendy,] thank you for writing it, thank you for listening to so many voices and for unpicking the threads to find the details that you needed to know. Thank you for thinking aloud, for 'showing your working out,' so others can follow you along the winding road into the future . . . your book will give hope and courage to many people, because as we both know when we speak about dying we always find ourselves reflecting on living. This beautiful book is an uplifting and courageous read, and I am incredibly proud to know you. (Kathryn Mannix)
As wise and wonderful as you might imagine, having the vital conversation about death – hers & ours, in her final book. Don't duck this one: you will be glad you joined her. (Professor Tom Shakespeare)
