Summary:
Death may be inevitable, but dying alone or in fear does not have to
be. Sacred Dying is theologian Megory Anderson's essential
testimonial and handbook for creating a dignified, peaceful, and more
sacred end to life. Anderson includes a section with many prayers and
poems from various traditions, and shows how to use personalized and
creative rituals to help those dying prepare for their death and to
bring a sense of peace, reconciliation, and acceptance both to
themselves and to the loved ones they leave behind. She discusses all
aspects of this final transition, including how to help a dying
person put "unfinished business" to rest; using massage to help the
dying let go of his or her body; and how to use music to help the
dying focus on specific times, places, or events. For this first-ever
paperback edition, she adds a chapter on what can be done after death
to help move the soul along. Intended for those who are going through
the death of a loved one as well as those facing death personally,
Sacred Dying facilitates creating a setting where death is
experienced as it should be-with honor, respect, and sacredness.
