The essays are as honest as they are reassuring. In the worst of human tragedies we seem to be at our best when we share, when we open ourselves to the reality of our own suffering and the suffering of our friends. Grief shared is love expanded, pain divided. Personal as the process of grieving is, death, like love, feels better shared. What we are really interested in, in our lives and in this book, is life.
Death matters only because it is so crucial an aspect of our living.
