Im Sturm lernt das Herz fliegen

"We cannot choose whether we want to encounter death. But we can choose how we want to face it." This is what soul midwife Basilissa Jessberger says. Her extraordinary range of experience includes many years as a midwife before she increasingly accompanied people at the end of their lives – in dying. Thus, she is one of the rare protectors and helpers at the two great gates of life: at the first and the last breath. In this book, she presents death as a natural, albeit often tumultuous, part of life and helps us reconcile with our finiteness. With touching descriptions of the soul's journey in dying, lovingly guided meditations, and practical suggestions from advance directives to wills to funerals. Beautifully designed, comforting to the heart, and expansive for the soul.

What does "good dying" look like? The moving experiences of the death companion and midwife reveal a new, hopeful approach to death. Shape the last great journey in a self-determined way: For all who confront their own finiteness or accompany the dying. With guided meditations available for download and all essential information from advance directives to wills to funerals. Features: fully illustrated in four colors.
