Living Thoughtfully, Dying Well

As we grow older we start to wonder about death, asking, “How will I die? Will I have a good death? Will I suffer? How will my family respond? How can we manage the dying process better?”

Dr. Glen E. Miller, a retired physician who also has theological training, had his own wake-up call when he suffered a heart attack and determined to help himself and his patients go “gently into that good night.” In a candid way, Miller invites readers into conversation about the spirituality of dying as he explores a variety of beliefs about death and dying.

With personal advice gleaned from his work with Mother Teresa among the dying of Calcutta, India, Miller provides rich guidance for those who are aging on the process of dying and how to make it better.
