A collection of four essays on death, dying, and the afterlife.

From the author of the groundbreaking work On Death and Dying comes an exploration on why discussing death is considered taboo and how normalizing that discussion can enrich our lives. Ours is a death-denying society. But death is inevitable, and we must face the question of how to deal with it. Coming to terms with our own finiteness helps us discover life's true meaning. So why do we treat death as a taboo? What are the sources of our fears? How do we express our grief, and how do we accept the death of a person close to us? How can we prepare for our own death? Drawing on our own and other cultures' views of death and dying, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, MD, provides some illuminating answers to these and other questions. She offers a spectrum of viewpoints, including those of ministers, rabbis, doctors, nurses, and sociologists, and the personal accounts of those near death and of their survivors. Once we come to terms with death as a part of human development, the author shows, death can provide us with a key to the meaning of human existence.

An investigation into the part that death and dying play in society and in the minds of individuals. Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross's other books include "Living with Death and Dying", "Questions and Answers on Death and Dying", and "On Children and Death".
