What is The Inner Life of the Dying Person (End-of-Life Care: A Series) about?
__The Inner Life of the Person Dying__ recounts the experience of facing one's death solely from the dying person's perspective, showing that—along with suffering, loss, anger, sadness, and fear—we can also feel courage, love, hope, transcendence, transformation, and even happiness as we die. 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. A work that is at once psychological, sociological, and philosophical, this book brings together testimonies of those dying from terminal illness, old age, sudden injury or trauma, acts of war, and the consequences of natural disasters and terrorism. It also includes statements from individuals who are on death row, in death camps, or planning suicide. Each form of dying addressed highlights an important set of emotions and narratives
