From the Publisher

"The reader will find in these pages compellingly personal accounts of illness and healing, alongside probing reflections on problems arising in forensic labs, palliative care units, and bereavement services. Likewise, authors of various chapters mine the wealth of China's ancient spiritual and medical traditions to find resources of relevance to modern life. Far from merely anthropological in intent, the book also offers a good deal of practical knowledge concerning end-of-life care and bereavement support, which, although rooted in the Hong Kong experience, has something to teach us all."- Robert A. Neimeyer, Chair, International Work Group on Death, Dying & Bereavement

"This book and the chapters written by Professor Cecilia Chan, Amy Chow and other experts will further analyse the philosophy of dying and death in Chinese culture, and will hopefully unveil the mystique surrounding a taboo buried in the thousands of years of our civilization."- Dr Che Hung Leong, Chairman, Elderly Commission, Hong Kong

"This book contains insight and knowledge which could help initiate readers to reflect on their own belief and attitude towards life and death. In so doing, the daily experience with managing the dying and their beloved could be made much more fulfilling and gratifying." - Dr Vivian Taam Wong, Chief Executive, Hospital Authority, Hong Kong
