I have always viewed death as a sad thing that will happen to everyone sooner or later. However, after reading this book, I realized that death can truly be a beautiful thing. Death allows a person to go into a next life, one where they will be loved and others will be there for them. It was interesting to be able to read the stories that these hospice healthcare workers witnessed. I have experienced a few deaths in my life and have never dealt with them very well. After reading this book, I sincerely believe that I will be able to look at the bright side of death and manage my emotions better. I can also help others around me deal with the death they are experiencing. This book was full of information that I enjoyed learning about. For example, I never knew that a dying person could choose the time to die. The thought of this had never occurred to me before. I always thought that when it was time to go, someone had no choice. But a dying person can “postpone” death until he sees a certain person or event that has great meaning in his life. However, there are still people who will wait to die until they are alone in the room. This book makes you think about real life situations and think about what you would do in them. Overall, it was a very insightful book that changes how you would naturally perceive
