Art of Dying: How to Leave This World with Dignity and Grace, at Peace with Yourself and Your Loved Ones

Dying is something we all must do. Practical and encouraging in tone, this book leads us through the conflicts we all seek to resolve in our end time -- from early physical concerns about pain and changes in appearance; to emotional concerns over relatives, reconciliation, and our own daily roller coaster of highs and lows; to psychological concerns over loss of control, and the need to feel that our life has had meaning; to spiritual concerns about what dying is like and what happens next. The author coaches us on what to expect and how to prepare, maintain control, and gradually transform ourselves from a physical existence to a spiritual one.
