We live longer now than previous generations did, and many
of us die more slowly. Those who are dying have a lot of things
to deal with. Fear. Discouragement. Boredom. Pain. Regrets.
And much more.


This wonderful book by Marilyn Chandler McEntyre offers fifty-two
short, poignant meditations on the very real issues faced by
people who are dying. McEntyre addresses such things as anger,
losing control, curiosity, doubt, loss of privacy, family conflict,
and spiritual torpor. Her insightful reflections speak to the heart
of the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of dying.
Brief concluding prayers further lift up the reader as he or she
seeks to faithfully navigate the great transition through death to
a new life.
