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.
