Facing Death Exploring Life

Beschreibung

Explores the mystery of dying and the power of our own life stories to heal and bring peace at this time of great transition and grief. We will all die one day. Even when we still feel immortal, our bodies are nonetheless on the journey towards dying, whether we want to acknowledge it or not. Reflecting on our own unique story as death approaches is a vital human instinct and need, and a matter of and for the soul, not just of the ego. Knowing our story helps us live each moment, each day, for through our own story we come to know who we are and what matters for us. And knowing our own story helps us to approach our dying more peacefully. Drawing heavily on real people's stories, Facing Death explores the emotional and spiritual journey individuals traverse in the weeks and months leading up to dying. In doing this, it demonstrates the power of story, and aims to show how important reflecting on our own life story is in this process. It also provides guidance for how this life review process can be achieved, both privately and with the help of others. The book is written with an understanding of the importance of preparing one's soul for the process of dying.
