In compassionate, direct language, Dr. Asquith comes to terms with death, bringing one to anticipate death as fulfillment. He challenges those bereaved by death to realize the fulfillment their dear ones have achieved. In life, he says, fulfillment can be anticipated only if it is being earned through involved and concerned participation in this world. Understanding this idea, the reader is directed toward a better personal philosophy of death for the achievement of a reinvigorated sense of life. All the positive aspects of death are unfolded here – a time of reparation, of restoration…a glad encounter with God. To all who face death, their own or a loved one's, Dr. Asquith offers meaning, courage, and a source of enrichment and self-understanding.
