“This book gives you directions and permission to have the death you want”

Phil Hammond – NHS doctor, broadcaster, writer and comedian

“This excellent book enables us to prepare better for the end of our own life’s journey and make our own ‘departures’ as good as possible… It is a book not just for the bereaved and dying, but as the title rightly says, for the living too.”

Julia Samual – Psychotherapist

Drawing on many stories from Liz’s personal and working life, from colleagues and from the audiences Outside the Box – Everyday Stories of Death, Bereavement and Life is a cornucopia of contradictory, funny, angry, sad, informative and uplifting stories.

Liz says, “It feels so vital that we all hear each other’s stories. We hear from doctors, therapists and celebrities quite a lot these days which is wonderful but what fascinates me are these everyday stories that can teach us so much. This wonderful cornucopia of contradictory stories makes us laugh, cry, feel consoled and inspired. And in addition there is wonderful original artwork and a series of expert commentaries responding to the stories and offering insight, advice and resources based on many years of professional experience. I really hope you will get hold of a copy and tell your friends about it because I believe it can be a trustworthy companion to us all throughout our lives and deaths.”
