"Can you be a witness?" "Huh? Excuse me? Witness? To what?" "To my passing." When Ulrich's request for assisted dying is approved, the author is plunged into a deep conflict. She'd not expected the approval, much less such an early date for her chosen father's self-determined death. As an undertaker, he'd cared for the bereaved and accompanied the deceased to their final resting place for over three decades. His positive nature, courage, and lust for life shaped his existence. Now he's decided to end his life. So the author joins him on a journey through his last five days. Can she stop fighting against the decision made long ago by the 'father of her heart'? And what comes after death? Questions to which the answers reveal themselves in unexpected moments and the ultimate end turns out to be nothing but a shift into new beginnings… A highly topical and touching book about the essential things that determine our humanity and which we all encounter in one way or another. A book about the power of love, acceptance, connection, and loss; about the pain and the vastness of the sky that opens when we transcend the periphery of our being.
