About In Death, the Gift of Life

In Death, the Gift of Life is a book meant to open an important conversation starting on the local level. Inspired by one son's experience with his father's end-of-life passage, this anthology contains the stories of ten individuals from the town of Westport, Connecticut. It asks readers to examine what end-of-life choices and options are available, as well as the challenges faced by those who have transformative and terminal illnesses. Each moving narrative explores men and women who have faced the modern medical establishment head-on, and then deliberately embraced grace and courage in the aftermath. These individuals have influenced an entire community with their unique views about living and dying well, and will continue to inspire through the power of their stories.
