Why am I so afraid of death? How would my life be enhanced if that
fear dissolved? An Insistence on Life grew out of such questions,
as well as the personal accounts of death shared with author Jane
Hughes Gignoux. By showing us ways to face death with understanding
and grace, this remarkable book offers an exciting and
inspirational model for embracing life.
A valuable companion to the increasingly popular discussions on
the many issues surrounding death and dying, An Insistence will
lead readers on a surprisingly uplifting journey into this delicate
topic beyond traditional comfort zones.
The collection of poignant stories presents alternative
approaches to accepting the end of life. Follow a family
surrounding their elderly patriarch in his final months, finding
all past estrangements erased as love becomes the only medium of
exchange. Experience the joy and deep gratitude shared by a group
holding sacred "going home" vigils. Discover the common threads
woven throughout the stories as you encounter authentic moments of
people who generously share the lessons they've learned about
releasing fear and the transformation that ensues.
"Life is essentially a matter of storytelling," says Ms.
Gignoux. "We can't always control the events of our lives but we
can choose how we interpret them. When we simply allow life's
journey to flow, exploring death and dying when it comes into view,
our fears dissolve, enabling a deeper and expanded freedom to
live."
