Summary: "Thinking and talking about death need not be morbid: they may be quite the opposite. Ignorance and fear of death overshadow life, while knowing about and accepting death erases this shadow and makes life freer of fear and anxieties! So writes Lily Pincus, who is indeed very much in love with life as her fund of fascinating case histories shows. Drawing on detailed studies of her patients and friends, and on her own personal experience, the author explores the extent to which previous family relationships determine the response to the loss of a loved one. The death of a son or daughter, husband or wife, father or mother-all these are covered in the book, which weaves a fascinating pattern of interrelationships, of joy and grief, love and pain. Death, long the one remaining taboo in Western society, is at last put in its proper place - as a natural conclusion to the cycle of life.
