What Obituaries Don’t Tell You: Conversations About Life and Death
Kathryn F. Weymouth, PhD
Foreword by Robert Lyman Potter, MD, PhD
335 pages
Hardcover $39.99
Paperback $23.99
e-book
Modern-day obituaries give a chronology of a person’s life, but they don’t give you a look behind the scenes where the interesting and significant events surrounding the death occurred. The book What Obituaries Don’t Tell You: Conversations About Life and Death, is a compilation of stories told by individuals about a loved one’s death, how it shaped and continues to shape their lives, and by professionals in their role with people and families prior to, during, and after a death.
In the book you will discover that:
- Hearing people’s stories helps you heal from loss.
- What you do, what you think, and how you feel after a death is normal: you aren’t crazy and it will get better.
- Preparing for your death is a great gift to yourself and your family.
- The choices and actions taken prior to death help determine the ease or difficulty of the death and the grieving process.
- Someone’s death can result in you being more loving, appreciating life more and redefining in a positive way who you are and what you want.
