From the Author:

Death is not a subject we like to consider, yet—like it or not—it is very much a part of our experience in this world. I hope that this study of what A Course in Miracles has to teach us about death, and how we can use that teaching in our lives, will be useful to you in understanding and dealing with the subject of death.

Description

Although everyone, at some time or another, faces death, it is not something we like to talk about. Yet it is unavoidable and of utmost importance to us all.

A Course in Miracles teaches that our belief in death is at the core of all our painful experiences in this world. In What Is Death?, Allen Watson examines the Course's philosophical insights about the nature of death and applies the Course's theory to practical situations, such as facing death in daily life, in the death of a loved one, or in our own death; and helping a friend in grief.

He also addresses several common questions concerning death:

• What happens when we die?
• What happens after we die?
• Do we reincarnate?
• Is suicide ever a valid choice?
• How can I help someone who is terminally ill?
• Can we communicate with the dead?

Watson ends on a note of hope, presenting a picture of what death can be to a healed mind.
