Summary
Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet he has tended thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love, meaning and grace. They reveal that there is hope beyond cure as they transition to focus on personal meaning. In this extraordinary and beautiful book, Dr. Kerr shares his patients' stories and his own research pointing to death as not purely the end of life but as a final passage of humanity and transcendence.
Drawing on interviews with over 1,200 patients and more than a decade of quantified data , Dr Kerr reveals why pre-death dreams and visions are remarkable events that bring comfort and exemplify human resilience. These are not regular dreams. Described as 'more real than real,' they frequently include loved ones long gone and mark the transition from distress to acceptance.
These end-of-life experiences help patients restore meaning, make sense of the dying process and assist in reclaiming it as an experience in which they have a say. They also benefit the bereaved who get relief from seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure.
Beautifully written with astonishing stories, this book, at its heart, celebrates the power to reclaim how we die, while soothing the bereaved who witness their loved ones go with unqualified grace.

The best book on end of life experience
What a beautiful book, so touching, so soul-awakening, it gives you deeper meaning & outlook on life when full-circle is experienced. The meaning and understanding of near death visions and dreams, what they mean to the dieing from various backgrounds, ethnicities and people with physical /mental disabilities. Dr Christopher Kerr must be one of the pioneers who researched end of life experiences of people with learning difficulties, what meaning they attach to their experiences. Very eloquently written, some beautiful, touching poems and letters throughout the book. And narrator's voice is really nice and calm that compliments the subject of the book. This is the best book I've read so far on this subject, and I have already read possibly 6-7 books by prominent authors, such as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Dr Moody, Jeffrey Long.
