| Annotation | Where do we go when we die? Or is there nowhere to go? Is death something we can do or is it just something that happens to us? Former Bishop of Edinburgh Richard Holloway is in his eighties, and has spent a lifetime at the bedsides of the dying, guiding them towards peaceful deaths. In this book, he quotes poets, philosophers and other writers, to presents a positive, meditative exploration of the important lessons we can learn from death: facing up to the limitations of our bodies as they falter, reflecting on our failings, and forgiving ourselves and others. 'Waiting for the last bus' originated as a five-part series on BBC Radio 4 in 2016. (RH). |
