"Knowing that death is the only certainty of life does not offer much comfort." writes Dr. Ofri. "It stirs up a cauldron of emotions, most of which we’d prefer not to deal with. It’s an entirely human response to want to shut our eyes. I’m writing this book to try to sort through the confusion and the fears. It’s knowledge that I need as a physician, as well as a human being."
In an effort to create that path for herself and her readers, Dr. Ofri shares in these pages a range of stories, speaking to caregivers who supported others at their end-of life, to those who have experienced personal loss: hospice care nurses for humans and pets; mothers, who grieve the loss of children; children, who must aid ailing parents; fellow physicians; and beyond. Some offer familiar comfort—confirmation of her own struggles and frustrations as a doctor, hoping to prepare her own patients for the inevitable. Some share knowledge—the signs the body exhibits, so that readers will better understand what it's communicating. Others offer a new paradigm through which to consider life, caregiving, and passing on. All guide her—and through her, readers—on a path to feeling less alone, and less afraid of the natural process of death.
Clear-eyed, deeply affecting, and urgently important, The Body Knows How To Die uses intimate human storytelling to offer a way through, to loved ones, friends, medical professionals—anyone grappling with loss first-hand. Exquisitely composed, this thoughtful and practical guide will help readers through the process of acceptance, and to the importance of meaning-making in building a more full and vibrant life.
