From dream research and global belief systems to such unexplained phenomena as bright lights, prescient dreams, neardeath and outofbody experiences, Passings delves into every aspect of the end of life. Taking a scientific and anthropological approach, Carole A. TravisHenikoff looks at how other cultures deal with death, how diverse kinds of death are treated differently, and how belief systems set the tone for grieving.In addition to the use of science and anthropology, TravisHenikoff includes both her own personal experiences with the end of life as well as the stories of others who help illustrate the striking realities of passing. Beginning with the many deaths that occurred during TravisHenikoffs childhood, Passings moves into an upcloseandpersonal look at the tragic threeandahalfyear period when TravisHenikoff lost her father, husband, grandmother, mother, and daughter.By combining the personal, the scientific, and the unexplained, Passings offers a comprehensive investigation into the end of life that allows readers to both examine their own individual beliefs about the subject and to gain a better understanding about how we as a species cope with death and dying.
