Social Issues Firsthand

Death and Dying
Author Sonja Eubanks
Published by Greenhaven Press

The process of dying and death itself are topics many people prefer not to think about, yet all of us inevitably face as we deal with the loss of friends and family members, and ultimately our own death. This volume includes first hand accounts of different people's ways of grieving and coping and the role faith and/or religion plays in the process. There are also first hand accounts from individuals explaining their reasons for choosing the moment of death for themselves or a loved one as well as first hand accounts of near death experiences.

Review:

"This collection is particularly interesting because of the use of the personal narrative and it is a good addition for libraries."
--School Library Journal, April 2011
