What Is Circulating
A Manifesto About Witness
The dedicated book page carries the complete source-led description. For allocation purposes, recipients should know the document’s central position before a copy is offered.
Bedside Literacy
The text argues for the ordinary human capacity to sit, listen, and remain steady when end-of-life speech no longer obeys familiar expectations.
Rights of the Dying
It insists that dying people remain persons, retaining claims to silence, unfamiliar speech, familiar objects, and unhurried company.
Duties of the Living
It distinguishes clinical care from the wider obligations of witness, restraint, accompaniment, ritual, and public memory.
Five copies are for named people, consenting groups, or authorized surfaces—not indiscriminate exposure to a difficult subject.
Reading Circle
One copy per participant for a small discussion prepared to address death, dying, institutional language, and bedside responsibility.
Care or Education Team
A shared text for adults in hospice-adjacent, chaplaincy, caregiving, ethics, or death-literacy contexts who choose to engage it.
Authorized Placement
A small number of reviewed copies for a chapel, library, classroom, office, or waiting area with operator consent and appropriate labeling.
Read or review the complete document before deciding who should receive it.
Offer copies with context; do not surprise grieving, dying, or recently bereaved people with the material.
Obtain permission before placing copies in workplaces, care settings, libraries, schools, chapels, or waiting rooms.
Do not present the manifesto as medical, hospice, therapeutic, legal, spiritual, or crisis-response instruction.
Respect a recipient’s refusal, silence, beliefs, care plan, professional team, and need for qualified support.
