This treatment is going to\nwork,\" my father insisted, even as his doctor had just explained that the\nliver cancer treatment was about life extension, not a cure.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat followed was a year and a half of navigating his care while he refused to\nacknowledge he was dying. Family tensions surfaced that we had spent decades\navoiding. Singapore's healthcare system excelled at treatment but struggled\nwith the human side of terminal illness. And I discovered that caregiving\nsomeone in denial is nothing like what anyone prepares you for.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis book peels back the sanitized narratives around illness and death. It\nlooks at how terminal diagnoses can reignite unresolved trauma and force us to\nconfront what we've avoided in ourselves, our families, and our cultures. For\nanyone who has faced loss and found themselves asking what really matters in\nthe end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie Chu\u003c\/b\u003e is a former civil servant who\ntraded government meetings for deadlifts when she started her own fitness\nbusiness.
