关于此电子书

This book is not about how to cope with grief nor about dwelling on it. It is about my own facing of the uncertainty of death. The uniqueness of this book is that, it is a confession of an ordinary woman like me. (actually this is my own confession) about pondering on how to face death gracefully and focusing on doing so, without valid reason such as suffering from terminal illness of any sort. It is indeed just plain boldness on my part. It is a challenge not to fear death, but a challenge to love death as a friend and to treat it as a blessing. My goals in this book are: to express my inner thoughts and feelings, to share my concept of death to the readers, to let the world know that there is a healthy way, a healthy approach to death and utmost-ly to spend the time given to live a "quality life".
