Death by Living explores the topics of family, grappling with the death of loved ones, and how to live with intention to get the most out of our time on Earth. Wilson encourages us to live hard and die grateful, and to see Christ in every pair of eyes. To write a past we won’t regret. All of us must pause and breathe. See the past, see life as the fruit of providence and thousands of personal narratives. We did not choose where to set our feet in time, but we choose where to set them next. We stand in the now. God says create. Live. Choose. Shape the past. Etch your life in stone, and what you make will be forever. In Death by Living, you will: Experience life with renewed wonder Recognize mundane moments as opportunities Learn to live hard and die grateful Recognize death as a gift instead of something to be feared At once inspiring, humorous, and unbelievably moving, this a book that you will read again and again, finding fresh perspective each time you open it.

For readers of Being Mortal and When Breath Becomes Air, the acclaimed founder of Death over Dinner offers a practical, inspiring guide to life's most difficult yet important conversation. Of the many critical conversations we will all have throughout our lifetime, few are as important as the ones discussing death—and not just the practical considerations, such as DNRs and wills, but what we fear, what we hope, and how we want to be remembered. Yet few of these conversations are actually happening. Inspired by his experience with his own father and countless stories from others who regret not having these conversations, Michael Hebb cofounded Death Over Dinner—an organization that encourages people to pull up a chair, break bread, and really talk about the one thing we all have in common. Death Over Dinner has been one of the most effective end-of-life awareness campaigns to date; in just three years, it has provided the framework and inspiration for more than a hundred thousand dinners focused on having these end-of-life conversations. As Arianna Huffington said, "We are such a fast-food culture, I love the idea of making the dinner last for hours. These are the conversations that will help us to evolve." Let's Talk About Death (over Dinner) offers keen practical advice on how to have these same conversations—not just at the dinner table, but anywhere. There's no one right way to talk about death, but Hebb shares time—and dinner—tested prompts to use as conversation starters, ranging from the spiritual to the practical, from analytical to downright funny and surprising. By transforming the most difficult conversations into an opportunity, they become celebratory and meaningful—ways that not only can change the way we die, but the way we live.

How can we learn to live with the hard fact of death? Some may find strength in religious faith, but growing numbers of us are not religious. When grieving or grappling with the prospect of our own end, how can we find solace? These questions led award-winning writer and atheist Valerie Jack on a quest to meet non-religious people facing loss and illness. In Living with Death without God you will hear their stories - which beautifully illuminate how, even in the most difficult circumstances, we can find comfort, hope and meaning. If you are asking yourself how best to live, given the fact of death, if you're looking for companionship as you travel your road, then welcome - these stories are for you. 'For those of us with a naturalistic approach to life, death is a full stop. The stories and reflections in this wonderful book help deal with that fact with a thoughtfulness, warmth and breadth that should give comfort and meaning to all.' Andrew Copson, Chief Executive of Humanists UK 'Montaigne taught us that if we refuse to be cowed by the inevitability of death, we become free to live life to the full. In Living with Death without God, Valerie Jack has woven a vivid tapestry from the stories of many brave people who learned to do just that. Grief can of course be hard to bear, even overwhelming, whether the bereaved be religious or not. But reminding us throughout these sensitively and compassionately written pieces that we all leave behind our own legacy, in many different ways, helps to shine light in dark corners - especially for those who see life's end as a destination, rather than a mere staging post to somewhere else.' Trevor Moore, Chair of My Death, My Decision 'This is an essential contribution to the discourse on life, death and grief. As a transpersonal psychotherapist this deeply resonated with my own experience, both personally and professionally - that living a life with a sense of meaning and purpose is not dependent on faith in some external being, but more about connecting to the universality in us all.' Annie Broadbent, author of Speaking of Death 'We are all unique beings and as we face our own death, we need to know we will be remembered but also to remember we will eventually be forgotten. This book helps us make sense of that truth for ourselves and our loved ones. I highly recommend this book for anyone at any stage of life, there is much to enrich and support our wider life journey towards our death.' Katrina Taee, author of Surviving the Tsunami of Grief 'For most people, death is unthinkable-so they simply don't think about it. Great visions of the next world have been created to avoid doing what Valerie Jack has done here: looking squarely at the idea that our existence truly ends through the eyes of human beings who accept that most difficult fact. As you close the cover on the last story, you'll feel as though you've met humanity at its most vulnerable and honest. A moving and important contribution.' Dale McGowan, author of Parenting Beyond Belief and Raising Freethinkers

When the end of life makes its inevitable appearance, people should be able to expect reliable, humane, and effective caregiving. Yet too many dying people suffer unnecessarily. While an "overtreated" dying is feared, untreated pain or emotional abandonment are equally frightening. Approaching Death reflects a wide-ranging effort to understand what we know about care at the end of life, what we have yet to learn, and what we know but do not adequately apply. It seeks to build understanding of what constitutes good care for the dying and offers recommendations to decisionmakers that address specific barriers to achieving good care. This volume offers a profile of when, where, and how Americans die. It examines the dimensions of caring at the end of life: Determining diagnosis and prognosis and communicating these to patient and family. Establishing clinical and personal goals. Matching physical, psychological, spiritual, and practical care strategies to the patient's values and circumstances. Approaching Death considers the dying experience in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings and the role of interdisciplinary teams and managed care. It offers perspectives on quality measurement and improvement, the role of practice guidelines, cost concerns, and legal issues such as assisted suicide. The book proposes how health professionals can become better prepared to care well for those who are dying and to understand that these are not patients for whom "nothing can be done."
