More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The central theme of this innovative book is the significance that people ascribe to death, both within and beyond their religious beliefs, and why this should be so. The book provides an in–depth account of the psychology of death and bereavement and, in doing so, places these subjects within the contexts of the major world religions and their associated mourning and funeral customs. It also includes certain aspects of death – such as death–bed visions, near–death experiences and the commonly experienced ‘sense of the presence’ of the deceased – which are not normally included in books dealing with the psychology of death and bereavement.
