I read this book many years ago, back in the 1990s, so I don't remember many details but it stayed with me and was unlike anything else I've ever read on the subject. This is a book by a woman who lost her brother, if I remember correctly, but learned through him to view death differently from how most of the Western world views it. The one thing I remember vividly is that someone - I think it was actually her brother - was enlightened about death and said that if we really understood it, we would not grieve or fear/dread death. It's been my lifelong goal to reach this understanding. My husband had it and was at peace in his final days. I wish I had been but I continue to work toward it. The wonderful thing about this book is that it's not a dry, philosophical treatise on death but an up close and personal journey that I think anyone could relate to. Very powerful and I would recommend to anyone.

Absolutely the greatest book on grief I have ever read. Ganga Stone completely nails not only the delicate subject of grief, but, more importantly, the context in which we experience it. A must-read for anyone who has lost a loved one.
