Abstract
"Opening to Grief is a companion for this tender time. With the demeanor and tone of a loving friend, the authors offer an invitation to grieve fully, to turn toward your emotions and experiences however they arrive, and to follow your own path toward healing....Because we love, we grieve. And when we fully feel our sorrow, we open to loving ourselves and other beings more deeply." - Provided by publisher.

Abstract
Discusses coming to terms with the disease itself; managing pain; planning funerals; making peace with loved ones; deciding about terminal care; and learning what the final experience of death is like. Although the author argues the pros and cons of euthanasia and belief in an afterlife, her obvious bias in favour of both may be off-putting to some readers.
