Book Description
Few people are aware they have a choice to care for their loved ones at death and to care for the body at home afterward. Not only is it possible and legal but has given deep fulfillment and closure for those who have done so. In addition there are considerable financial savings. This book, abundantly illustrated, gives each practical step in the process of care, and also tells many heart warming stories of families and communities that have received blessings from the dying and, in return, have honored them with this final act of love. Written in a warm and accessible style, the book includes many spiritual insights into the process of dying and our connection to our loved ones after death.

Living with Difference

Author: Adam B. Seligman
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520284127
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 232

Book Description
Whether looking at divided cities or working with populations on the margins of society, a growing number of engaged academics have reached out to communities around the world to address the practical problems of living with difference. This book explores the challenges and necessities of accommodating difference, however difficult and uncomfortable such accommodation may be. Drawing on fourteen years of theoretical insights and unique pedagogy, CEDAR—Communities Engaging with Difference and Religion—has worked internationally with community leaders, activists, and other partners to take the insights of anthropology out of the classroom and into the world. Rather than addressing conflict by emphasizing what is shared, Living with Difference argues for the centrality of difference in creating community, seeking ways not to overcome or deny differences but to live with and within them in a self-reflective space and practice. This volume also includes a manual for organizers to implement CEDAR’s strategies in their own communities.
