Lorna Bell is a hospice nurse. The stories in Happy Endings come from her own experience as well as those of friends, family and colleagues.
Selected for their flair, creativity or serendipitous events, these
stories are models of
"good deaths". Each exemplifies end-of-life lessons: that death is as
much a spiritual process as it is physical; that most people who are dying speak
of seeing beings or deceased loved ones we cannot see; that animals in nature or
pets seem to have an understanding of the death process beyond our own.
These stories demystify end-of-life and provide idea-filled ways to prepare for
our own life's conclusion: leaving meaningful memoirs and thank you notes,
thoughtful letters and gifts into the futures of those we leave behind.
Reading this collection brings one to a heightened awareness of our own planned obsolescence, reminding us we are not this body. The dying have much to teach us about this right of passage.
