It\u0026amp;rsquo;s an entirely human response to want to shut our eyes. I\u0026amp;rsquo;m writing this book to try to sort through the confusion and the fears. It\u0026amp;rsquo;s knowledge that I need as a physician, as well as a human being.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an effort to create that path for herself and her readers, Dr. Ofri shares in these pages a range of stories, speaking to caregivers who supported others at their end-of life, to those who have experienced personal loss: hospice care nurses for humans and pets; mothers, who grieve the loss of children; children, who must aid ailing parents; fellow physicians; and beyond. Some offer familiar comfort\u0026amp;mdash;confirmation of her own struggles and frustrations as a doctor, hoping to prepare her own patients for the inevitable. Some share knowledge\u0026amp;mdash;the signs the body exhibits, so that readers will better understand what it's communicating. Others offer a new paradigm through which to consider life, caregiving, and passing on. All guide her\u0026amp;mdash;and through her, readers\u0026amp;mdash;on a path to feeling less alone, and less afraid of the natural process of death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClear-eyed, deeply affecting, and urgently important, \u003ci\u003eThe Body Knows How To Die \u003c\/i\u003euses intimate human storytelling to offer a way \u003ci\u003ethrough, \u003c\/i\u003eto loved ones, friends, medical professionals\u0026amp;mdash;anyone grappling with loss first-hand.
