WHAT WORD COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH? The truth is, everyone has a single word in mind when he or she thinks about the "Great Equalizer," regardless of his or her spiritual bent, social position or moral viewpoint. Dying is like being at the airport waiting for your flight - and when the moment is right, you should peacefully and confidently catch your plane. No muss, no fuss, no fear, no regrets, but pure bliss . This book airs unconventional yet reassuring guidance on what is widely viewed as one of the most momentous questions for mortal humans: How to cope with death? In a rational, unbiased and nonreligious way, the book offers a clear picture of decease, providing a supportive voice to millions of mourners and terminally ill people who adopt myriad approaches to grapple with the question of death, the process of dying, and the ancillary phenomena that revolve around mortality (survival, guilt, grief, loss, etc.)
