This volume explores how we are learning to cope with death in a secular age. Waterhouse explores how care of the dying is changing, and the new approaches to funerals and bereavement, basing the book on interviews with health professionals, with those facing death and with the bereaved. He relates individual stories to the wider social, ethical and medical problems, and though some of the stories show painful experiences, they also reveal people's resilience and courage. Underpinning the book is the idea that the more pro-active we are, the better will be our experiences of dying and grieving.
