Dath is a phenomenon that no one has ever experienced first-hand. Yet no subject has been pondered, written about, researched, portrayed, feared, embraced, denied are argued over more. The question “What is Death?” can be pondered on so many levels: emotional, physical, spiritual, medical, metaphysical. Where do we go when we “cross over”? How does the soul move on? What happens in the last breath of life that takes us into death? Do our loved ones greet us on the other side? In preparing this book, I interviewed hospice workers around the country who have pondered death’s significance and value.
