Happier Endings: A Meditation on Life and Death

Happier Endings: A Meditation on Life and Death

Called â€œcatharticâ€ by The Wall Street Journal, this wise and affirming book helps you accept and prepare for death through important conversations about what matters most.

â€œExtreme empathy with extreme tough-mindedness.â€ Thatâ€™s how David Brooks, of The New York Times, describes Erica Brown. In Happier Endings, she helps us confront our fears about deathâ€”for ourselves and our loved onesâ€”and demonstrates how the last days of life can be among the most inspiring if we learn to leave a legacy of words and values, to forgive and apologize, and to make important decisions.

Along the way, she introduces us to people of all faiths who deal with death in enlightening ways, including a mother who arranged for her children to sprinkle her ashes on a favorite ski slope; an ex-nun who prepares people to die; a group of women who ritually wash their dead; and a family whose grandfatherâ€™s ethical will is read by his survivors each year. After reading Happier Endings, you will have a greater understanding of what a good death can be and what a life well lived looks like.
