      Zármutek patří k lidskému životu. Dříve, nebo později se bude každý z nás vyrovnávat se smutkem nebo ztrátou. Ale co říct, když se to nejhorší přihodí někomu, koho milujeme – a jak se vyrovnat s tím, když se to přihodí nám? Tato laskavá, dojemná a povznášející kniha nabízí podporu a útěchu každému, kdo zrovna prochází bolestivým obdobím, bez ohledu na to, co ho způsobilo.

Výsledkem je návod na přežití pro drsné chvíle, paprsek světla, který k vám pronikne v temných dnech a který vám připomene, že nejste sami. „Tuto knihu jsem napsala pro sebe, ale taky pro vás. I když si v srdci nosíte nesmírný žal a neumíte si představit, že byste se někdy mohli cítit lépe, vězte, že v tom nejste sami.“

      'Het laatste uit liefde' door Cathy Rentzenbrink is een schokkend, droevig maar hartverwarmend waargebeurd verhaal over een broer en zijn zus en een tragisch ongeluk. In 1990 wordt Cathy's broer Matty aangereden door een auto. Hij is zwaargewond en raakt in coma door dit ongeluk. Cathy en haar ouders zijn verantwoordelijk voor de slopende zorg, en willen maar één ding: dat Matty in leven blijft. Maar zijn coma is uitzichtloos. Na acht jaar nemen ze de aangrijpende beslissing om Matty's leven te beëindigen met euthanasie. Het valt Cathy zwaar met de dood van Matty is het reine te komen. Toch weet ze de draad van haar leven weer op te pakken, ook dankzij de liefde van haar Nederlandse man.
