A New Way to Hope
Description
"Dr. Bill, can you teach me how to die?"
What is it about this stage in life that calls us to seek instruction? Can anyone teach someone how to die?
In this book, Dr. Stephenson suggests that death is not our greatest fear. In this COVID crisis, it is dying that is our greatest fear. "Will I suffer?" "Will I have to die alone?" "Who can I depend on?"
It is in this final stage of living that Dr. Stephenson was privileged to witness and assist hundreds of children, youth and adults. This book is a testimony of those who, knowing they would soon die, chose to be open to seeking a new way to hope. A hope that would help them to embrace the mystery of living with purpose and meaning until they died.
"No, Sam, I can't teach you how to die. But together, we can discover a hope that you can hang onto that will give you a richer life until you die."
