Even in this candidly confessional age, we've been conditioned to
avoid discussions of death. Our youth-worshipping culture does
everything to deny death, which is why, when the end nears, most of
us are inadequately prepared to deal with it.
And the cost of that is great: many are haunted by memories of how
inappropriately or painfully or uncomfortably their parents and
grandparents died. Many of us avoid even considering the options,
in all their complexity, that we will most likely face one day,
given our new longevity and the profound advances in medicine.
With its wise and very compelling argument that all of us, at any
age, can and should face death before it faces us, Talking About
Death addresses the cultural, personal, medical, and legal concerns
that are necessary for us--as individuals and as a society--to
prepare for a good death, a death where the dying are in control
and not, as is too often the case, caught in a downward spiral of
medical intervention and misunderstood intentions.
Virginia Morris skillfully weaves together personal stories and
practical matters, scientific fact and spiritual sensitivity into
an important book about how we can achieve a greater sense of peace
in dying, and rediscover the art of living.
