죽음에 대해 심도 있게 다룬 이 책은 우리 모두에게 필요한 지식과 깊은 성찰을 제공합니다. 저자는 첫 번째 부분인 '별이 되기 전(前) 채비'에서는 죽음의 의학적 정의부터 시작하여, 호스피스(hospice), 임사체험(臨死體驗), 상속, 재산의 사회 환원 등 죽음과 관련된 실제적인 측면들도 다각도로 조명했습니다.
두 번째 부분인 '별이 된 분을 위한 정리'는 죽음 이후의 절차와 관습에 초점을 맞춥니다. 특히, 세 번째 부분은 각 나라와 문화가 어떻게 죽음을 대하는지를 다루며, 이는 단순히 장례 문화의 다양성을 넘어, 인간 존재의 근본적인 문제에 대한 통찰을 제공합니다. 또한, 사람들이 평소에 궁금해 했던 미이라, 시신보존 방법인 엠바밍(embalming)등을 해석해 냄으로 전문가의 이미지가 넘쳐납니다.
저자가 10년간 상조 회사를 경영하며 학습한 폭넓은 연구는 죽음이라는 주제를 둘러싼 우리의 이해를 넓혀줄 뿐만 아니라, 삶과 죽음에 대한 우리의 태도를 다시 생각하게 만듭니다. 또한 본인이 직접 실천하고 있는 수 많은 헌혈기록, 사전 연명 의료 의향서 등록, 안구와 장기, 조직기증 증서 등은 바람직한 실천가의 모습을 보여줍니다.
이 책은 독자에게 죽음과 삶에 대한 새로운 시각을 제공할 것이며, 깊은 사유와 영감을 불러일으킬 것입니다.
삶의 마지막 순간을 준비하거나 의미를 찾고자 하는 이들에게, 삶과 죽음의 사이에 존재하는 것에 대한 이해를 얻고자 하는 모든 사람들에게 추천합니다.
