Grief

At Home With Dying


At Home With Dying:
A Practical and Spiritual Guide
to Caring for the Dying at Home

Merrill Collett
Includes mindfulness skills, effective pain treatments, appropriate cooking and feeding techniques, household organization, visitor management, preparation for the moment of death, and working with grief. $22.50.






Planning Memorial Celebrations
Rob Baker
Memorial services are not so much rites for the dead as celebrations by the living and for the living of the lives of those who have died. This practical and supportive guide explains how to cope with all the details when efficiency is furthest from your mind. Included are two sample memorial services, an annotated bibliography and a quite amazing 21-page discography, as well as helpful information and advice on funerals, cremation, undertakers and donating the body or its organs for medical purposes. $17.95.



Good MedicineGood Medicine:
Heart Practices for Difficult Times

Pema Chodron
In Good Medicine, Pema Chodron continues the teachings of When Things Fall Apart, showing how at the core of the most painful experiences lie the seeds of spiritual awakening. Here she presents key teachings on recognizing and cultivating the "soft spot" that is the gateway to compassion and open-heartedness. She discusses the four great catalysts of awakening, and how to integrate them into our lives; the basic goodness that is inherently ours; how the three noble principles can enrich everything that we do; the matri meditation that multiples love; why an attitude of "don't know" can be wiser than the world's greatest spiritual teachings; and how to keep the heart open with equal fearlessness to both heartache and delight. $29.95.
