It is possible to manifest your deepest spiritual values before, during, and after death. Within these pages, you will discover alternative death ways that are sustainable, artful, sacred, and supportive.
Filled with personal stories and written with a compassionate heart, this book is a must-have guide for navigating the tragic terrain of a loved one' s passing. In one volume, it covers not only the spiritual aspects of this passage, but the practical and legal issues as well. A wonderful book for a difficult subject, guiding you before, during, and after death comes near your door. Should be in everyone' s library. --Anodea Judith, author of Anodea Judith' s Chakra YogaThis is a significant and timely book, full of heartwarming stories to inspire you and ease your fears. I learned many things that I will definitely put into practice as I prepare for my own death and those of my loved ones. In our modern culture we have lost touch with the beauty and sacredness of death, and the need for meaningful rituals that are aligned with human needs and the ways of the natural world. This book shares ways we can re-gain and re-claim our rightful ease and natural way with death. --Susan Campbell, author of Getting Real and Saying What' s RealJudith Fenley has created a weaving of practical, spiritual, political, ritual, and always compassionate wisdom for approaching the process of death. Bringing a sense of the organic and natural unfolding of the conclusion of life in a body, she tells stories, provides resources, encourages reflection, and always emphasizes the importance of honoring the individual needs and desires of the loved and loving ones finding their way through death. Judith' s caring heart and grounded presence are here in her writing as I know they must be as she tends to the needs of family and friends whose loved one has left this life. May this book be a guide and companion to those seeking support in choosing and following the appropriate path for themselves, their loved ones, or for their own journey assisting others as a death guide. --Selene Vega, author, dancer, psychotherapist, and owner of spiritmoving. com
