7 Lessons for Living
from the Dying
There is no life without death.
The aim of this book is to ease our terror of death so that we can contemplate our own deaths, and those of
our loved ones, with less regret, disappointment and fear, and to learn to live with more freedom and joy.
Collected here are uplifting stories of transformation and healing gathered by Dr Karen Wyatt from the hospice patients in her care. She offers the seven key lessons the dying taught her, from suffering (“embrace your difficulties”) and love (“let your heart be broken”) to forgiveness (“hold no resentments”) and impermanence (“face your fear”).
The sometimes challenging, always inspiring real-life stories are combined with guidance on absorbing the 7 lessons into our lives through meditation and other spiritual practices. Teaching us what really matters in life, the dying show us how to live our best lives now with meaning, purpose and love.
Other books from Dr. Wyatt:
An adaptation of Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching from the perspective of death.
The Tao of Death focuses specifically on the wisdom and spirituality of the dying process, which has long been ignored in Western society. From understanding death as a normal process in the cycle of life, to learning how to live fully and fearlessly, to recognizing the cosmic role of life and death, this important book is for anyone who wants less fear and more joy, love, and meaning in life.
This is a book of inspirational stories and poems dealing with grief, loss and spiritual growth from the author's personal experience with the suicide death of her father. These writings are presented as a gentle guide to those who suffer grief and a beacon of hope for those who are lost in despair.
Like a good friend, they accompany the reader down the road of healing, offering support and encouragement along the way, and providing illumination for the journey.
