- All of Us Must Face Hard Facts of Death, by Rosalynn Carter (2 Jul 1997) This article appeared in the July 2, 1997, editions of The Atlanta Constitution and The Washington Post. An excerpt follows:
Jimmy and I have written living wills, but legal documents are not enough to prepare us for our final days. We must talk honestly with our loved ones, our clergy, and our doctors and nurses about the choices we would make if confronted with a chronic or terminal illness.
The old cliche is true: dying is part of living. Any definition of “dying well” must include respecting patients’ wishes, reducing pain, involving caregivers throughout the process, minimizing financial burden, and encouraging spiritual growth until the very moment of death.
Advance Praise:
“Living Fully, Dying Well offers a thought-provoking series of discussions about the meaning of life and death by noted spiritual thinkers and teachers from both Eastern and Western traditions. These conversations are refreshingly free of religious and materialistic dogma, and they delve into theoretical issues such as the nature of consciousness and the possibility of life after death, then they proceed to practical advice on how to live life to the fullest—including the final phase of life known as death. This book is bound to benefit many readers seeking greater fulfillment.”
—B. Alan Wallace, author of Mind in the Balance: Meditation in Science, Buddhism, and Christianity
“In this age, when more than one-third of all deaths in North America take place in a hospice setting, we are in need of wise resources and practical tools for creating a spiritually inspired approach to dying and death. Edward W. Bastian and Tina L. Staley have created such a resource book. Living Fully, Dying Well offers a rich contribution to 21st-century understanding of the multi-dimensional aspects of the human encounter with death.”
—Simcha Raphael, author of Jewish Views of the Afterlife
“The fact of death and the art of dying are subjects that every human being would do well to reflect upon. That this book offers reflections from an interspiritual perspective contributes to its unique value. We should be grateful that these wise beings have come together on the theme of Living Fully, Dying Well.”
—Kabir Helminski, author of The Knowing Heart and Living Presence
