Description

Why are we so afraid to discuss death? How can we age well and have a good death if we cannot talk about this inevitable fact of life? 71-year-old William Wan tackles this sensitive and potentially upsetting issue with grace, humour and kindness. He draws on his wide knowledge of people and his varied background and myriad experiences to craft a book that deals with topics such as: • Dealing with the effects of growing older • 10 tips to help you age gracefully • Reflections on death and dying • Handling grief • Planning your own funeral • Having “die-logues” • Helping others who are grieving. The book includes forewords/introductions by Gerard Ee, chairman, Charity Council; Gregory Vijayendran, President, Law Society of Singapore; and Ho Peng, former Director-General of Education, Ministry of Education.
