People have choices and options at the end of their lives. Designing and directing their own end-of-life journeys allows them to find meaning and fulfillment right up to the end. This book aims to help people die well when the time comes, as it eventually does for everyone. It is possible for dying to be marked by serenity, acceptance, love, comfort, and a sense of completeness.
