Looking into Death's Face as a Friend
Written in 1984 when the conscious birth movement was gaining ground along with the conscious death movement, Anya Foos-Graber provided us with a vivid case study combined with a manual for preparing for our own death or being a loving and skillful companion for someone facing their death.

Among the other books you might enjoy reading to amplify her essentialized manual, I'd suggest Sogyal Rinpoche's "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying." Her book, written before the publication of his, was not able to cite this in its bibliography.

This is a useful book for changing cultural attitudes and metaphors of facing death more directly with less fear and more hope.

Deathing: an Intelligent Alternative for the Final Moments of Life
My father recently made his transition. I read many books about the deathing experience before he passed on, and this was my favorite one. It is very helpful for those in the place of giving care, and for understanding and preparing for our own journey.

I Would Liked To Have Heard About Paul Twitchell
How did Paul Twitchell die? Weren't you (Anya) with him? Why not tell this story of deathing? Confessions of a God Seeker by Ford Johnson also tells God-soul how to prepare for death or vice versa which is the same.
