The key to Living with Dying is friendship. Living with Dying will help you see that looking for God in an expectant sense whether you are someone with little or no faith. Developing an intimate relationship with Him makes a positive difference to the supply of energy and hope in sitations where we are giving care. Grace Sheppard sees life as a gift to be held in trust and it is a challenge to maintain a balance that is both creative and flexible.
A profound insight to the greatest test we all face: to be beside someone we love - a child ,a parent, a partner – as they slip away from us. Grace Sheppard draws on the experience of caring for her dying husband, David Sheppard, Bishop of Liverpool and formerly England cricket captain. She looks at what drives us to run away from the difficult times and emotions.

A very special book confronting the act of dying head on and laying out a strategy for living and loving through death and beyond. Although this book tells the story of her husband David’s illness and subsequent death, it is mainly autobiographical, as Grace Sheppard shares her intimate thoughts and beliefs as she tells the story of their life together and in more detail the four years of illness and suffering of her beloved husband. Don’t think of this as a sad book though, it is full of positive thoughts and actions, amazingly so, and this is what makes it an inspiring book to read. So many things impressed themselves on my mind, I am only a year younger than the author, death is going to come to us all and thinking about it and planning to prepare for it is not morbid but can instead be life affirming. Grace Sheppard’s letter to friends at the end of the book is extra special, as it draws together the threads of what she has written earlier. Of course there are sad passages to the story, but the overriding message is of hope.
