To Die Well meets the growing need of people who want to understand and face death consciously and authentically; who want effective control in discussions with doctors, friends, and family; and who want to remain close to their loved ones without being disempowered by the commercial funeral industry. It is an inspiring, practical, holistic approach that transforms a time of vulnerability and pain into an experience of tenderness, compassion, and insight. To Die Well details a variety of therapies that are approved by the hospice movement, such as aromatherapy, sound and color therapy, herbalism, shiatsu, hydrotherapy, yoga, and chi kung to help readers manage the emotional, physical, and psychological challenges of dying. It also enables them to exercise greater control over the process by offering suggestions on making wills, drawing up advance directives, giving gifts, and donating organs. In addition, it includes a professional resource appendix and a recommended reading list. Beautifully designed with color art throughout, To Die Well is an elegant and empowering book for everyone who wants to face the end of their lives with dignity and grace, and a comforting resource for the people who love them.
