讓死亡回到生命裏
科學作家雪竹歷時四年，進行中國人死亡和臨終的田野調查，她採訪了數十位臨終病患及家屬、醫護、臨終關懷志願者、生前預囑推廣協會、死亡咖啡館等相關人士，收集了與我們息息相關的、當代中國人面臨死亡時的人生故事、心態、處境和不同選擇，並參考大量醫學和生死學一線調研資料，寫就了這部適合中國人閱讀的死亡教育手記。
直面我們的恐懼，在告別中，學會為愛做出選擇，在失去裏，找回好好生活的動力。這本書告訴我們，死亡不是恐懼的起點，而是教會我們愛和理解生命，在哀傷之外，我們有更多選擇。
Bringing Death Back into Life
Over four years, science writer Xue Zhu carried out fieldwork on death and dying in China. She interviewed dozens of people, among them dying patients and their families, doctors and nurses, hospice volunteers, an association that promotes advance directives and a death café, gathering the life stories, states of mind, circumstances and choices of people in China today as they face death. Drawing also on a wide range of front-line research in medicine and the study of life and death, she has written a book of death education for Chinese readers.
Facing our fears; learning, in farewells, to make choices for love; finding, in loss, the will to live well. The book tells us that death is not where fear begins but what teaches us to love and understand life, and that beyond grief we have more choices.
