"Death brings a feeling of abandonment. When dying, we leave our body behind and enter a suprasensory world of spirit. How can those of us still alive on Earth create and maintain a connection with the one who has died? Over the course of many years, Rudolf Steiner spoke frequently about death and its meaning for both those who have died and the living left behind. With surprising spiritual directness, Steiner's spiritual-scientific experiences and insights provide many suggestions and means for connecting with and helping those who have died, as well as ways we can prepare for our own journey after death. With the help of his meditative verses and prayers we, the living, can accompany the dead on their way through the worlds of spirit. With vivid descriptions, meditative verses, and prayers, this compassionate guide offers much needed help to all who want to connect and work with death and those who have died in a responsible and realistic way"--
