Die Träume der Sterbenden

Why We Don't Have to Fear Death: Christopher Kerr is a hospice physician. All of his patients are dying. He has cared for thousands of people who, in the face of their death, have shared remarkable experiences of love and grace with him. These are experiences that suggest that during the dying process, profound inner emotional processes occur, which are astonishingly life-affirming and peaceful. In a ten-year study involving over 1,400 hospice patients, Dr. Kerr specifically researched the phenomenon of end-of-life dreams. Over 80 percent of all dying individuals experience them—so vividly that they seem "more real than reality." Dreams where past relationships are rekindled, along with significant events and scenes of love and forgiveness. They give life meaning and mark for those affected the transition from deep suffering, pain, and despair to comfort, hope, and acceptance in the face of their own mortality. Christopher Kerr's descriptions present the end of life in a completely new light, clear and touching. His book offers comfort and trust to the dying and their loved ones—and it can alleviate the fear of death. "Whether you have a loved one who is dying or are contemplating what might lie beyond your own life: you will find that Dr. Kerr's book can bring meaning and even beauty to the final phase of our lives. I highly recommend it." Dr. Dale Bredesen, author of "The Alzheimer's Revolution.".
