Because one death touches many lives, it is important for both those who are dying and those who love them to be prepared for the pain and grief that accompany it. Here Deborah Howard shares words of comfort and encouragement for everyone coping with suffering and death. Her compassion, firm faith in Christ, and years of working as a hospice nurse create a uniquely sensitive, experiential, and biblical volume.

Above all, she emphasizes that there is a light that cuts through death's dark shadow. That light is Jesus Christ, and He offers hope and comfort to all who are facing life's final journey.

Top Highlights

“This is a book to help Christians come to grips with death—their own and that of others.” (source)

“Third, while some books are evocative and perhaps sentimental, and others aim at faithful exposition of Christian truth, this volume seeks to capture both your affections and your mind.” (source)

“Psalm 55:4-5: ‘My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.’” (source)

“What is the first step in dealing with death? The first and most crucial step is to get past your own denial.” (source)

“Not only should we learn about death, but we must also prepare for it. Since no one knows the day or hour of his death, it is best, in the words of the Boy Scout motto, to ‘be prepared.’ I hope this book will help us learn more about death and give us the proper motivation to prepare ourselves financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually for this inevitability.” (source)
