Book Review: The Spiritual Life Includes Facing Death
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered "The True Work of Dying" while browsing through a friend's book case. I was immediately drawn to the title and asked to borrow it. I read it every night before falling asleep for about seven days, from beginning to end. I was especially interested in the sections entitled "Birth/Death Parallels" and "Midwives and the Labor of Dying" which articulated many things I intuitively felt in my own experiences with home birth and helping people to die at home. As I got deeper into the book I could not help thinking how helpful it would have been to have read this book during the years that I worked as a home health care provider for elderly people. Now as a yoga teacher, I have many opportunities to openly discuss death and dying with my students. While there are many other insightful books on death that I also recommend, "The True Work of Dying," is a book I feel most comfortable giving to my own parents (whose religious and philosophical beliefs are different from mine) and all of my students. I highly recommend this book for every one, but especially for other yoga teachers working with people at midlife and older.
