Heavy themes such as transience and death are presented in this deeply personal essay in a surprisingly light manner. Reflections from the experienced and renowned psychotherapist Luise Reddemann, texts from philosophy and literature, thoughts from the dying, and musical reflections encourage further contemplation and listening. How do we say goodbye? How can we come to terms with the fact of our transience? What constitutes a good death? Luise Reddemann brings together texts, ideas, and inspirations from philosophy, spirituality, and literature, aligning them with personal experiences as well as insights from psychology and psychotherapy. People who have reached the end of their lives also share their voices. A special emphasis is placed on the musical reflections that run like a basso continuo throughout the book. Music, as the art form most closely associated with this theme, plays a significant role.
