The final work from acclaimed author and advocate Wendy Mitchell, titled "This beautiful book will offer hope and courage to many people." Kathryn Mannix, in her review, describes it as an uplifting memoir that serves as a reminder to cherish every moment. The Daily Mail praises it as a "really thoughtful and thorough exploration of end-of-life concerns."

Following her diagnosis of young-onset dementia in 2014, Wendy expressed her gratitude for the liberation that came with openly discussing and facing life's challenges head-on. Consequently, in the years preceding her passing, Wendy embarked on a mission to have what she considered her most significant conversation: exploring the available options and the limitations surrounding end-of-life care.

"One Last Thing" is a courageous, balanced, and wise exploration of this critical topic. It provides practical guidance on preparing for death, offers gentle words to initiate conversations with loved ones, and consults renowned experts to provide insights into assisted dying.

Through her writing, Wendy Mitchell has once again touched the hearts of readers, offering solace, inspiration, and a roadmap for navigating the end of life with grace and dignity.
