Résumé

"La Maison" est un centre de soins palliatifs situé près d'Aix-en-Provence, dans le village de Gardanne. Un lieu exceptionnel où, face aux ravages de la maladie et à l’imminence de la mort, on prodigue des gestes pleins d’humanité et de bienveillance.
À "La Maison", on n’est pas simplement dans l’attente de la fin. On peut investir chaque instant. Le patient a droit à la dignité, à la convivialité. Il ne lui est pas interdit de rêver à de nouveaux moments de bonheur. Le Temps qui reste nous emmène au contact de Kate, Brigitte et Claire, trois soignantes qui accompagnent au quotidien les malades et qui doivent apprendre à gérer ces liens qui se tissent et qu’il faut savoir défaire aussitôt.

"La Maison" is a palliative care center, located near Aix-en-Provence, in the village of Gardanne. It's a special place where patients who are faced with the ordeal of illness and an oncoming death are cared for with humanity and consideration. At "La Maison", one isn't only expecting the end. One can enjoy every minute. Every patient is entitled to dignity and congeniality. It isn't forbidden to continue to dream of happiness.
It is this caring attitude and daily attention that moved me most.
When confronted with the liable death of a relative or a friend, we might be tempted to renounce or run away. I reckoned that these nurses accomplished what we are, most of the time, incapable of doing: taking the ill person in your arms, laughing with him on no particular ground, showing him that, to our minds, he is still a full human being.
Through spending time at "La Maison", I most certainly wanted to know how to look at death in full face while our society prompts us to look away.
The Remaining Days takes us along with Kate, Brigitte and Claire, three nurses who assist patients in their daily lives and must learn how to conduct those links that have to be undone as soon as woven.
