About this title

Synopsis

Death happens. This fact is something that most people prefer not to think about, though death looms as the final event of every life. Packing for the Big Trip is based on the belief that death is something to think about and something to talk about before it happens to someone we know. As a fundamental part of life, it deserves to be discussed frankly and dealt with concretely in the daily interactions of people who care about each other. In an easy, conversational style, this book reminds us that our society struggles to avoid the unavoidable, presents ways to overcome fear, and teaches both the dying and their loved ones how confronting death can enhance each individual's appreciation of life.
