Showing results for "Exit" in Grief & Loss

Death is a subject obscured by fear and denial. When we do think of dying, we are more often concerned with how to avoid the pain and suffering that may accompany our death than we are with really confronting the meaning of death and how to approach it. Sushila Blackman places death - and life - in a truer perspective, by telling us of others who have left this world with dignity.

The author, Rhonda Green, is a person whose calling in life, from a very young age, has been to compassionately walk with people and their loved ones as they transition out of this life. Her emphasis in this book is to encourage and guide everyone to prepare for their eventual transition by completing what she calls an "Exit Plan" in order to save them much practical and emotional heartache.

After her brother died unexpectedly and her mother moved into a dementia-care facility, spiritual travel writer and Episcopal deacon Lori Erickson felt called to a new quest: to face death head-on, with the eye of a tourist and the heart of a pastor. Blending memoir, spirituality, and travel, Near the Exit examines how cultures confront and have confronted death by investigating Egypt's Valley of the Kings, Mayan temples, Colorado cremation pyres, Day of the Dead celebrations, Maori settlements, and tourist-destination graveyards.

Narrated by the author, Graceful Exits offers advice on how to handle various exits in life, from death and loss, to firings and breakups, with empathy and humor. Direct and full of advice and suggestions for next steps forward, Suster guides listeners through the ups and downs of goodbyes, and carefully reveals the best methods for a smoother, more graceful transition.
