Summary
Death is a subject obscured by fear and denial. When we do think of dying, we are more often concerned with how to avoid the pain and suffering that may accompany our death than we are with really confronting the meaning of death and how to approach it. Sushila Blackman places death - and life - in a truer perspective, by telling us of others who have left this world with dignity.
Graceful Exits offers valuable guidance in the form of 108 stories recounting the ways in which Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, and Zen masters, both ancient and modern, have confronted their own deaths. By directly presenting the grace, clarity, and even humor with which great spiritual teachers have met the end of their days, Blackman provides inspiration and nourishment to anyone truly concerned with the fundamental issues of life and death.

A lot of these stories are very unrealistic
A beautiful book filled with many deaths wisdom stories, narrated by multiple people. Most of the stories are wonderful, however, a lot of them are absolutely ridiculous and basically fairy tales. Being a spiritual teacher doesn't make you a super human, you're body still bows to physics.
This book is also much better read compared to listened to as the stories are very short and works better when you are the one reading it.
All in all I did enjoy this audiobook but don't expect it to be realistic.
