Drawing on the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism, she provides invaluable advice on spiritual preparation for this great transition, as well as recommendations on how to help others through this transition. In addition to the spiritual aspects of dying and death, the book addresses practical issues such as end-of-life care, legal and medical aspects, palliative care and working with people experiencing the grief of losing a loved one.
