Dealing with Grief
Eternity and Me
by Dr Allan Kellehear
RRP $24.95 AUD
From an internationally respected
author who has worked in the area of death, dying and palliative care
for nearly 20 years comes this amazing book. Each story in "Eternity
& Me" is a night-light offering emotional and social guidance in
our personal search for meaning in death and loss. Each story can heal
us. Drawing from special moments in his own personal and professional
life Dr Kellehear shows us that even the most difficult times can have
the meaning that ultimately helps us to live more authentically.
"We all walk the plank. It's just that some of us do it with a blindfold
and some of us do it without. The most common problem nowadays appears
to be that those with the blindfold rarely prepare for the drop and those
who prepare for the drop stop enjoying the walk... Dare to do two things
at once. And remember: don't stop enjoying the walk."
It is in this candid yet sensitive manner that Kellehear makes the idea
of death, if not desirable, then perhaps a little more palatable. This
is a truly unique book that does not seek to provide answers, but tell
other people's stories in the hope that the reader may be able to more
fully grasp and shape his/her own.
