"Medicine is so advanced these days. This treatment is going to work," my father insisted, even as his doctor had explained that the treatment for his liver cancer was meant to extend life, not cure it.
What followed was a year and a half of navigating his care while he refused to acknowledge that he was dying. Long-buried family tensions surfaced, issues we had spent decades avoiding. Singapore's healthcare system proved highly effective at delivering treatment, yet it struggled to address the deeply human realities of terminal illness. Along the way, I learned that caring for someone in denial is nothing like what anyone prepares you for.
This book peels back the sanitized narratives surrounding illness and death. It explores how a terminal diagnosis can reignite unresolved trauma and force us to confront what we have long avoided in ourselves, our families and our cultures.
For anyone who has experienced loss and found themselves asking what truly matters in the end.
