In death, the power of the departed souls intellect increases astronomically. That enables an all-revealing light to present that intellect with an astronomically vast plenitude of truth every detail of which such an intellect easily grasps with great clarity and speed. What every departed soul thus learns of itself is, in every case, so humiliating, that, without Gods assistance, it will fly into an indescribably fierce rage. So hot will that rage be, that every such soul will, with astronomical intensity, crave above all else a place where it can rest assured there shall never be the slightest reduction in the ferocity with which it hates and foul mouths that plenitude and its Author. Seeing hells degree of isolation alone offers that assurance, every departed soul unassisted by God will wholly ignore the degree and duration of the pain involved and hurl itself into hell with a willingness and gusto far beyond anything we the living can even begin to imagine. How can such a scenario be reconciled with the notion of a God of Love? The author replies with a definition of free will which few if any people have ever encountered.

Revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide with translations in 29 languages. After too many years of unfulfilling work, Bronnie Ware began searching for a job with heart. Despite having no formal qualifications or previous experience in the field, she found herself working in palliative care. During the time she spent tending to those who were dying, Bronnie's life was transformed. Later, she wrote an Internet blog post, outlining the most common regrets that the people she had cared for had expressed. The post gained so much momentum that it was viewed by more than three million readers worldwide in its first year. At the request of many, Bronnie subsequently wrote a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, to share her story. Bronnie has had a colourful and diverse life. By applying the lessons of those nearing their death to her own life, she developed an understanding that it is possible for everyone, if we make the right choices, to die with peace of mind. In this revised edition of the best-selling memoir that has been read by over a million people worldwide, with translations in 29 languages, Bronnie expresses how significant these regrets are and how we can positively address these issues while we still have the time. The Top Five Regrets of the Dying gives hope for a better world. It is a courageous, life-changing book that will leave you feeling more compassionate and inspired to live the life you are truly here to live.

Although death is universal, how we respond to it--how we ready ourselves for death and how we grieve--depends on when and where we live. New preparations for dying, new kinds of funerals, new ways of handling grief, and new ways to memorialize are continually evolving, and with them come new challenges. Bringing to bear twenty-five years of work on the sociology of death and dying, Tony Walter engages critically with key questions such as: should we talk about death more and plan in advance? How possible is advance planning as more people suffer frailty and dementia? How do physical migration and digital connection affect the irreducibly material process of dying? Is the traditional funeral still relevant? Can burial and cremation be ecological? And how should we grieve: quietly, openly, or even online?

Who is everywhere." With an afterward and helpful suggestions about how to explain death to children, readers will find insight into one of the emotional issues we all struggle with.
