Dying Made Easy(er): Creating Your Happy Ending

In Dying Made Easy(er) by Myra Bennett, we are guided through the diverse phases and considerations of the end of life by an experienced traveler who’s spent many hours “as a guest in the sacred place of the dying.” Bennett, a hospice nurse and end-of-life guide, who has also grappled with death in her personal life, invites us to contemplate dying from many different angles: legal, social, physical, psychological, and spiritual. Her Dying Made Easy(er) is both a handbook of pertinent information and a medley of informed suggestions for us to consider when experiencing or sharing the phenomenon that is the end of life. Bennett believes it is imperative that we—as a community—are aware of how to find help when faced with death and dying. In Dying Made Easy(er), she provides the resource to address this pressing need.

Myra is a retired hospice nurse and an end of life doula at Compassionate Crossings in Sacramento, California. She is a sought after speaker and educator in all aspects of end of life who is passionate about teaching others how to tame the paralyzing fear that prevents a meaningful ending of life.
