A Book-In-Progress

I classify myself as a fresh, new voice in legitimizing a dialogue on dying and lifting the cultural/familial taboo. I am full of passion and concern for patients facing dying and families letting go.   I am hoping this book helps you to find consistency with who you are, what you are about, how to live life to its end and ties these to your dying wishes.

Diane Burnside Murdock, May 2012

Here is a quick summary of my forthcoming book, The New Art of Dying:

How would you like to die? How can you help your family and other loved ones to have a death that gives them comfort and support? Only you can answer this. Each of us has our own special feelings, hopes, fears, and desires around this universal issue. These days, dying can happen in many different ways because of high-intensity therapies that prolong life and postpone dying. The proliferation of choices, possibility, and alternatives can be overwhelming. There is no one answer for dying correctly. Each of us wants to get is right and do it our own way.

The New Art of Dying is a constructive and thorough guide to empower you to make your own choices. It is progressive about patient rights, making you the central figure and enabling you to experience dying the way you have experienced life—by being in charge of your own destiny. It is for you only. You can keep coming back to this book and learn something different about yourself as you grow inwardly and age outwardly.

How you feel about death and dying at 40 may not be the same as when you're 75.
