Addressed to the Christian reader, Befriending Death engages the reader in meditative and reflective exercises intended to help then confront the meaning of death in life. Portions of the book are directed toward those close to death, others toward those caring for the sick and dying. At some point in your life you may be a part of both of these categories. Also included in the book are four appendixes dealing with What to Do After a Death, Information & Resources, Journaling, and Prayers and Spiritual Readings.
