Jane set up Pilotlight in the UK and then in Australia. Pilotlight specialises in bringing together very rich and powerful people into personal contact with people on the street who need help. Her book is called Death and Dying – Bringing Death to Life.
“Dying to Know: Bringing Death to Life” is witty, profound, and thought-provoking. It has just the right balance for people at the end stages of their life and/or their families and caregivers. It is also suitable for those bereaved by the loss of a loved one.
It is not in an essay or novel style like most books on this subject, but is arranged with pictures, quotes, and short stories – just the right amount when you’re grieving. For example, there is a little pocket at the back of the book which contains a small folded piece of paper with the title “Emotional Will” and when unfolded has unfinished sentences like: “There is something I have learned that I would like you to know…” and “Thank you for this memory, I treasure it…”, etc.
More information on the book or Pilotlight is available on the website: Pilotlight or listen to her wonderful podcast from the ABC here:
