About This Book

A series of meditative essays treats death as the defining fact of life and urges readers to face it with lucid thought rather than fearful avoidance. The author distinguishes physical illness from death itself, criticizes social and professional rituals that amplify anguish, and faults scientific prolongation of the dying as often increasing suffering. He advocates cultivating a reasoned, personal conception of death to provide dignity and solace in final moments and reflects more broadly on eternity, hope, and the human need to reconcile with the unknown.
