Making Friends with Death

"Making Friends with Death guides us in exploring our relationship to our own mortality and also in working with the dying. Highlighting the immediacy of death as an aspect of everyday life, Judith Lief offers practical exercises for deepening awareness and appreciation of change, practices for cultivating kindness, as well as contemplation slogans and caregiver guidelines, drawn from the Buddhist tradition, to help us discover ways of living more openheartedly and with less fear."--BOOK JACKET.
