Program Description: Since suffering is an inescapable fact of life, Longaker says "what we need to learn is how to go through suffering, how to bring the experiences of suffering into our spiritual path and purpose, because that is how we can transform it." Facing death--either our own or that of our loved ones--is a part of life; eventually, we are all touched. For anyone seeking ways to cope with death, or finding more meaning in life, Christine Longaker provides compassionate insight and wisdom. Confronting death before it is upon us gives life a meaning not possible otherwise. 1 hour
A pioneer in the Hospice movement, Longaker has studied with Sogyal Rinpoche (author of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying) for 18 years and is the author of Facing Death and Finding Hope: A Guide to the Emotional and Spiritual Care of the Dying (Doubleday 1997).
