Structured like a stational liturgy, Living Well & Dying Well calls us to stop and face the five spiritual crises-faith, despair, impatience, pride, and greed-and five remedies-inspiration, hope, patience, humility, and generosity-that are pivotal moments on the journey of life and death. Along with each of these remedies, O'Brien offers meditations, prayers, and a summons to communal support. This latter piece is crucial-living well and dying well requires us to love and accompany one another in our journeys.
