A very moving and inspiring testimony!

A book to tell the story of his end of life. Thursday 16 March saw the publication in bookshops of the testimony of Nicolas Menet, a man from the Ardèche who died at the age of 43. He died on 4 February of brain cancer, diagnosed a little over a year earlier. When he realised that his cancer was incurable, he decided to write a book ("Faire le deuil de soi" ("mourning the loss of self") - Éditions Le Cherche Midi ) to talk about this last year, about accepting his upcoming death, and to make proposals to the deputies and the President of the Republic on the law governing the end of life.

Un livre pour raconter sa fin de vie. Jeudi 16 mars est sorti en librairie le témoignage d'un Ardéchois mort à 43 ans, Nicolas Menet. Il est décédé le 4 février dernier d'un cancer du cerveau, diagnostiqué un peu plus d'un an auparavant. Quand il a compris que son cancer était incurable, il a décidé d'écrire un livre ("Faire le deuil de soi" - Éditions Le Cherche Midi) pour parler de cette dernière année, de l'acceptation de sa mort à venir, faire aussi des propositions aux députés et au président de la République sur la loi encadrant la fin de vie.
