During my work on the palliative care unit at the University Hospital in Bonn, I was able to get to know the family audiobook and experience how the project participants, when they hold their audiobook in their hands, find that a successful life does not necessarily have to go over 9 decades! But I also admired the audio biographers, who, despite all their professional experience in the project, always face new and unpredictable challenges. You need to be able to get involved and work with what you expect.
