Download or read book Advice for Future Corpses and Those Who Love Them written by Sallie Tisdale and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK CRITICS’ TOP 10 BOOK OF THE YEAR “In its loving, fierce specificity, this book on how to die is also a blessedly saccharine-free guide for how to live” (The New York Times). Former NEA fellow and Pushcart Prize-winning writer Sallie Tisdale offers a lyrical, thought-provoking, yet practical perspective on death and dying in Advice for Future Corpses (and Those Who Love Them). Informed by her many years working as a nurse, with more than a decade in palliative care, Tisdale provides a frank, direct, and compassionate meditation on the inevitable. From the sublime (the faint sound of Mozart as you take your last breath) to the ridiculous (lessons on how to close the sagging jaw of a corpse), Tisdale leads us through the peaks and troughs of death with a calm, wise, and humorous hand. Advice for Future Corpses is more than a how-to manual or a spiritual bible: it is a graceful compilation of honest and intimate anecdotes based on the deaths Tisdale has witnessed in her work and life, as well as stories from cultures, traditions, and literature around the world. Tisdale explores all the heartbreaking, beautiful, terrifying, confusing, absurd, and even joyful experiences that accompany the work of dying, including: A Good Death: What does it mean to die “a good death”? Can there be more than one kind of good death? What can I do to make my death, or the deaths of my loved ones, good? Communication: What to say and not to say, what to ask, and when, from the dying, loved ones, doctors, and more. Last Months, Weeks, Days, and Hours: What you might expect, physically and emotionally, including the limitations, freedoms, pain, and joy of this unique time. Bodies: What happens to a body after death? What options are available to me after my death, and how do I choose—and make sure my wishes are followed? Grief: “Grief is the story that must be told over and over...Grief is the breath after the last one.” Beautifully written and compulsively readable, Advice for Future Corpses offers the resources and reassurance that we all need for planning the ends of our lives, and is essential reading for future corpses everywhere. “Sallie Tisdale’s elegantly understated new book pretends to be a user’s guide when in fact it’s a profound meditation” (David Shields, bestselling author of Reality Hunger).

Download or read book Aquiles a curious straight written by Gonzalo Narvreón and published by Gonzalo Narvreón. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquiles is an upper-middle-class man in his mid-40s. He shares his days with Marina, his wife, who is deeply in love and enjoys full sexuality devoid of prejudices. He has a very active routine between the gym, work, and sports, sharing his leisure time with his three childhood friends and families. His life goes on pleasantly and away from any conflict that may disturb him. An unexpected situation will provoke a shockwave in his structure and aroused his curiosity, which will lead him to travel unknown walking trails and discover that there are relationships that go beyond those established by social doctrines and by the cultural mandates within which he moves. From that moment on, Aquiles will begin to sharpen his attention to situations that had gone unnoticed until then. Even with the qualms imposed by his heterosexual male structure, he will try to open his head to understand that nothing is what it seems and that maybe there is another type of pleasure that, until now, he has never experienced or imagined.

Download or read book Body as Medium of Meaning written by and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2004 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bodies move, and they express. There is a body language, and there is a language employed to refer to the body, its parts, and the states of its being. Consciously and unconsciously people judge each other according to body and clothing behavior. What one thinks one expresses is not necessarily how one is seen and judged, and the variety of observations made of the body is diverse. Bodily behavior and interpretations of this behavior face change at frontiers of culture areas, or when cultures meet each other as a result of migration. This book addresses and expands upon these issues. Soheila Shahshahani teaches at the Shahid Beheshti University, Teheran, Iran.
