When it's Time to Leave

By Dr. Jim Turrell

Death is a point of departure. It is the place where we wait for that moment when called out of the human condition we transcend and re-form ourselves into the spiritual experience. Whatever you had on the schedule is no longer relevant. Whatever you needed to do...it's unimportant.Very few people think about death and how to process the experience of dying. When death happens, they get hammered by feelings of helplessness, lost in what feels like a forest of meaningless emotions. Meaningless does not mean unimportant. It means you are being forced to process feelings you've never had to think about--unfamiliar feelings of which you have no information. This book gives you the information to process the experience and clarify the confusion. It shows you by example and lesson ways to think and reason. This book is intentionally brief. It is written to maximize what the author believes to be essential information necessary to stabilize the uncertainty and create the confidence that enables one to move through this experience. I have added a new chapter on Suicide. This chapter addresses the difference between Assisted and Self-Inflicted Suicide and reviews case studies to help the reader understand how to heal the sense of blame or guilt that so often accompanies this experience. You will learn:* The mechanics of grief* How to understand death* How to break the news to others * Tools to mitigate uncertainty and fear* Who is in charge? What kind of decisions must they make?* What to talk about. How to listen. What is important?* What creates clarity and what creates confusion* Why the fear of life is more difficult than the fear of death* The one thing guaranteed to remove fear* How to honor other belief systems* A way to pray that will bring you peace and give you confidence* What needs to be healed and how to heal* The five keys to being prepared for a death in the family* Patience, Compassion and Love* What is Hospice? What is Palliative Care?* What to say. How to share. How to listen.
