More about this book

A warm, reassuring and very practical book on dealing with death and dying.

Description

When someone we love dies suddenly, or after a serious illness, we're often left wondering if we could have done more. How prepared are we to care for loved ones, talk to children about death, deal with the death of young and old, and honour someone's life?
In this uplifting book, filled with people's personal stories, the authors will inspire you with their warmth, wisdom and practical suggestions, as they share dozens of ways to make the death and dying of those you love everything you'd want it to be.
Authors Claire Leimbach, Trypheyna McShane and Zenith Virago draw on their work and experiences around death and dying to bring readers an extraordinarily compassionate, practical, inspiring guide to this momentous time in our lives.

Reader Reviews

"The Intimacy of Death and Dying gently takes our hand and helps us open our eyes to what we do not want to see, that death comes to all of us, and that how we face our own end or that of our loved ones is just as vital to the celebration of life as welcoming a new baby into the world." - Carolyn Greene (The Book Warehouse)

"... can only say every home needs this book -- it is the bible of how to prepare for death and how to make sure you make the most of living." - Barbara
