Our culture has overly medicalized death: dying is often institutional and sterile, prolonged by unnecessary resuscitations and other intrusive interventions. We are not going gently into that good night--our reliance on modern medicine can actually prolong suffering and strip us of our dignity. Yet our lives do not have to end this way. Centuries ago, in the wake of the Black Plague, a text was published offering advice to help the living prepare for a good death. Written during the late Middle Ages, ars moriendi--The Art of Dying--made clear that to die well, one first had to live well and described what practices best help us prepare. When Dugdale discovered this Medieval book, it was a revelation. Inspired by its holistic approach to the final stage we must all one day face, she draws from this forgotten work, combining its wisdom with the knowledge she has gleaned from her long medical career. The Lost Art of Dying is a twenty-first century ars moriendi, filled with much-needed insight and thoughtful guidance that will change our perceptions. By recovering our sense of finitude, confronting our fears, accepting how our bodies age, developing meaningful rituals, and involving our communities in end-of-life care, we can discover what it means to both live and die well. And like the original ars moriendi, The Lost Art of Dying includes nine black-and-white drawings from artist Michael W. Dugger."--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 155.937 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.937 Dugdale Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.937 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.937 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 155.937 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 155.937 Du Checked In Add Copy to MyList
