Approaching Death

'The book is written in an unsentimental and measured way from the basis of a wealth of experience and in a way that allows the reader to make their own mind up about the views expressed. There is nothing whimsical or airy-fairy, it is solid and grounded whilst still addressing the spiritual aspects of death and dying. Once familiarised with this book it is definitely one to stay on the shelf for reference.'

'I have noticed a wonderful effect in my work, since reading this book. As a Hospice Chaplain attending the patients on the ward, I have become calmer and quieter in myself... I feel so deeply touched by reading this book. Renée Zeylmans has such deep sensitivity and this book opens us to levels of awareness so often sadly missed when someone is crossing the threshold.'
-- Annie Blampied-Radojcin, Hospice Chaplain and OneSpirit Interfaith Minister

'This book is an invaluable, sensitive and gracious volume of writings around death, dying and life after death. It's like a Lonely Planet guidebook, covering everything you ever wanted to know, and more besides about the subject. It is a work of reference, which I will return to again and again and could also recommend it as a book for study by any person, or group, interested in its vitally important content.'
-- New View

'[An] informative and compassionate book... full of practical information as well as human stories illustrating various scenarios. The author emphasises that the dying process is individual and that we may have to unlearn things in the process as well as learn... A very worthwhile read.'
-- The Paradigm Explorer

'I am captivated by the warmth throughout the contributions of Renee's book. Flowery prose and gushing poetry do not figure here. Her experience seems well reflected, then sensitively described, so that it can become for the reader a strong prompt to inner work.'
