They Died Waiting: The Crisis in Mental Health – Stories of Loss and Stories of Hope
Our Price: £9.99 (with free UK delivery)

Each chapter begins with a colour plate of a memorial heart made by the contributors. They Died Waiting speaks into a void and makes a valuable contribution to health and social care knowledge. It shines a light on some whispered lives, whispered deaths, and whispered organisational behaviours.
They Died Waiting will appeal to anyone interested in mental health or bereavement.

Nevertheless, the narratives are bursting with integrity, values, compassion, love, and hope.
