Experiences, observations and practical advice enabling those encountering death to meet it in an active manner, both mentally and physically.

How can we prepare ourselves for meeting with death? How can we help those experiencing the death of someone close to them?

Anyone who has been present at the death of a human being will sense that a door into another world is opened for a moment. It is a moment that calls for quiet and reverence.

At the same time, the meeting with death comes as a shock. We know that the time will come when we ourselves stand face to face with death.

This inspiring book is for those who encounter death along the way, for those facing their own death, and for those experiencing the death of someone close to them. It gathers together thoughts, feelings, experiences and observations about death, and offers both spiritual and practical guidance. It will help those facing death, and their carers, to do so actively and with preparedness.
