Laila Tarraf was the chief people officer for Peet’s Coffee and Tea, the iconic Berkeley coffee roaster, but she had a secret: She was failing in the most important relationships in her life. Yes, she was a strong and effective business leader, the successful daughter of immigrants, and the mother of a toddler, but she was disconnected from her own feelings ­and had little patience for those of others. All that changed, however, when three of the people most important to her - her husband, father, and mother - died in quick succession.

Evelyn Amdur, a hospice social worker, began to write these stories midway through her career, collaborating with her daughter, Shelley. Many traditional cultures have a custom of "death songs", which rest on the idea that at one's last moment, one somehow sums up the essence of one's life in a phrase or a song. Woven into these stories are instructions on how to die well, not only in what spirit we face death itself, but also through instructions on what is necessary to prepare our families, to ready our estates, and to manage all the players who may be involved in our deaths.

Abschiede gehören zu unserem Alltag und sind Teil des Lebens—von früher Kindheit bis zum "letzten Abschied“. Heute scheinen Abschiede auch gesellschaftlich noch aktueller, noch brennender. Gut damit umzugehen wird daher noch wichtiger. Wir müssen Abschied nehmen von scheinbaren Sicherheiten, ob in der Kirchenkrise, dem Klimawandel oder der drohenden Kriegsgefahr. Es stehen Abschiede von Gewissheiten an, die lähmen und persönlichen und gesellschaftlichen Fortschritt verhindern. Anselm Grün führt uns ein in die Kunst des Abschiednehmens als Loslassen und Weitergehen.
