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.
