Living Thoughtfully, Dying Well

Publisher Description

As we grow older we start to wonder about death, asking, "How will I die? Will I have a good death? Will I suffer? How will my family respond? How can we manage the dying process better?" Dr. Glen E. Miller, a retired physician who also has theological training, had his own wake-up call when he suffered a heart attack and determined to help himself and his patients go "gently into that good night." In a candid way, Miller invites readers into conversation about the spirituality of dying as he explores a variety of beliefs about death and dying. With compassion honed by serving overseas among despairing people and the practical ideas gleaned from his medical practice, Miller provides rich guidance to aging persons to live more fully and proactively plan for a good death.
