As a student of Ram Dass’ teachings, this is an excellent book that addresses dying. Ram Dass and Mirabai engage in thoughtful spiritual conversations about the fear of dying. They often remind the reader to love everyone, tell the truth, and give up material attachments as we navigate through this incarnation. Ram Dass offers spiritual insight into how to be present for a dying person, how to grieve losses, and how to create space for our own dying. This is a book I intend to re-read often as I encounter future losses and prepare for my own death as I age. The audiobook is narrated by Mirabai and includes a couple of audio clips from Ram Dass’ past talks. The ending of the book offers several meditations. Namaste
