From dream research and global belief systems to extraordinary occurrences such as near-death and out-of-body experiences, this fascinating study delves into every aspect of death. Taking a scientific and anthropological approach, this examination focuses on how other cultures deal with death, how diverse kinds of death are treated, and how belief systems set the tone for grieving. In addition to the use of science and anthropology, this work includes the author’s own personal experiences as well as other stories that illustrate the striking realities of passing. Beginning with the many losses that occurred during the author’s childhood, Passings moves into an up-close-and-personal look at the tragic three-and-a-half-year period during which she lost her daughter, father, husband, grandmother, and mother. By combining personalized accounts with the scientific and the uncanny, this intriguing overview offers up a comprehensive investigation into the end of life, exploring individual beliefs and encouraging a better understanding of how the human species copes with death and dying.
