The Inner Life of the Dying Person

Abstract

This unique book recounts the experience of facing one's death solely from the dying person's point of view rather than from the perspective of caregivers, survivors, or rescuers. Such unmediated access challenges assumptions about the emotional and spiritual dimensions of dying, showing readers that - along with suffering, loss, anger, sadness, and fear - we can also feel courage, love, hope, reminiscence, transcendence, transformation, and even happiness as we die. - The publisher.
