This book examines the dialectic between fictional death as
depicted in the media and real death as it is experienced in a
hospital setting. Using a Terror Management theoretical lens, Davis
and Crane explore the intersections of life and death, experience
and fiction, to understand the relationship between them. The
authors use complementary perspectives to examine what it means
when we speak and think of death as it is conceived in cultural
media and as it is constructed by and circulates between patients,
health professionals, and supportive family members and friends.
Layering analysis with evocative narrative and an intimate tone,
with characters, plot, and action that reflect the voices and
experiences of all project participants, including the authors'
own, Davis and Crane reflect on what it means to pass away. Their
medical humanities approach bridges health communication, cultural
studies, and the arts to inform medical ethics and care.
