AnnotationThe essays in this volume were written in honour of Herman Feifel, who is considered to be the founder of the death movement. His book 'The meaning of death' (1959) is seen as the precursor of the field of thanatology - the study of death, dying and bereavement. In this book, various aspects of thanatology are examined, including the role of the caregiver; the process of grief and bereavement; religious and spiritual perspectives; the experience of growing older; and euthanasia.
