Five "faces" of growth are described: Holy Sadness, Meaning-Making, Generosity of Spirit and Transcendence, Legacy and Eternal Life, and Letting Go. Readers are invited to consider the creative potential at the end of life and to be aware that they too may grow as they journey alongside others who are approaching death. |
