Defeating Death Anxiety offers an alternative way of understanding life and loss in the face of death. It is not that we lose people; the truth is we can't. When we interact with others, it becomes possible to incorporate their essences into our own. This ethereal essence is nonphysical, timeless, and easily transmissible. This book explores the idea that no one is ever really gone and that there is little need to fear the end of bodily existence. It is meant to provide a helpful perspective on what it means to be human and should serve as a source of comfort to all who read it.
