Description

A collection of poetry, short stories, and memoir pieces that tell of how people of various ethnicities, religions,countries, and races respond to deaths from various causes: old age, dementia, cancer, murder, suicide, pandemic, war, road accidents. This collection comes from professional writers and ordinary people, from “death professional” who deal with strangers’ deaths (police, morticians, clergy), and from those surprised by the death of a beloved person. As the writers reflect on their grief and anger and try to find a way forward, their experiences enlarge readers’ capacity for coping with this inevitable experience that happens within life to us all. Inspirational and practical both, this new edition of The Death Project includes new pieces and “nuts and bolts” information on how Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Ba’hais commemorate deaths. An important resource for congregations, mortuaries, individuals and families.
