Product Description

▼▲

Addressed to the Christian reader, Befriending Death engages the reader in meditative and reflective exercises intended to help then confront the meaning of death in life. Portions of the book are directed toward those close to death, others toward those caring for the sick and dying. At some point in your life you may be a part of both of these categories. Also included in the book are four appendixes dealing with What to Do After a Death, Information & Resources, Journaling, and Prayers and Spiritual Readings.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

Written for those who embrace the realities of death and those who stand in the presence of death, this book can be used alone or with others. Practical exercises and questions for reflection are contained within each chapter to help the reader understand the life that prepares us for death. This is not about life after death, rather it is about discovering and engaging with death within this world. It is ideal for those who need practical help or those who simply wish to learn more about this sensitive subject.
