'...composed of personal documents--letters, diaries, journals, confessions, reminiscences, interviews, and suicide notes--written or recorded by people threatened by death. Searing, often beautiful, accounts of the human spirit in heroism and despair, each in its own way is a rutter for the passage we must all make. Interwoven with the personal documents are Dr. Shneidman's own humane and searching comments and suggestions.'
