Abstract:
This article is a review of Robert Kastenbaum's 1979 essay entitled “Healthy dying: A paradoxical quest continues.” It begins with a summary of the arguments and challenges in the original essay. This is followed by an evaluation of his original claims in the light of contemporary insights in modern public health history and empirical studies of near-death experiences and deathbed visions. The recent development of health promotion in palliative care is described in relation to these developments and Kastenbaum's early question about the paradoxical quest for health while dying is again posed against this background. Given our modern understanding of “health” in current global health policy and debates, it is argued that “healthy dying” is no paradox. Instead, the pursuit of health at the end of life represents a realistic modern desire to compress morbidity, minimize unnecessary suffering, and enhance quality of life at this time.

Abstract:
Kastenbaum and Aisenberg have suggested that persons can cope with the impact of death and dying by altering their understanding of what each means to them as well as by changing their behavioral responses to such experiences. The present study’s purpose was to develop a reliable and valid measure to assess an individual’s particular death perspective based on Kastenbaum and Aisenberg’s distinctions between overcomers and participators. The Death Perspective Scale developed here assessed the extent to which individuals utilize either an overcoming or participating approach to (a) assigning meaning to dying and death and (b) behaviorally responding to death-related experiences. Based upon the data collected from 168 adults varying by age and gender, findings suggested that both overcoming and participating could be reliably assessed, correlated with measures of death anxiety and death attitudes, and varied reliably ( p < .05) by age and gender, wherein such differences were for the most part consistent with predictions by Kastenbaum and Aisenberg espoused over 30 years ago. Findings here suggested that overcomers reported more fear of death and dying and were less accepting in this respect, while participators reported fewer death-related fears and were more accepting. Women and older adults were more participating, while men and younger adults were more overcoming, though such effects varied depending upon whether meaning versus response to death was considered. The consistency between the present findings and the predictions Kastenbaum and Aisenberg suggests that while person’s orientations to death and dying seem to transcend sociocultural change, empirically based efforts to better understand how our death system impacts persons need to move forward.

Abstract:
End-of-life experiences go by various terms, including near-death experiences (NDEs), deathbed visions, deathbed phenomena, deathbed coincidences, and nearing death awareness. Deathbed escorts is the term applied to the vision of deceased family members or friends who inform the dying person that they will be accompanied in the transition from life. In this article, I examine the subject of NDEs and deathbed escorts, starting with the rich body of work provided by Robert and Beatrice Kastenbaum. A subject of some interest to Robert Kastenbaum, he explored this frontier in his many writings on dying, death, and bereavement. Ever the pioneer and having made the ultimate transition, he may yet be exploring new frontiers.

Abstract:
The article sheds light on the way the author's scientific views and endeavors in the field of dying, death, and bereavement over 40 years in Germany have been influenced by the work of Robert Kastenbaum. Reconstructing the passage of time, the early years (i.e., the second half of the 1970s), a middle period (i.e., the 1980s and 1990s), and the later years (i.e., from the turn of the century to the present) are outlined. In an anecdotic fashion, two personal encounters with R. Kastenbaum are reported. The article concludes with showing/consensus and dissention in various respects and finally recounts the author's admiration for this outstanding scholar.

Abstract:
This article reflects on the development and impact of the International Workgroup on Death, Dying and Bereavement's (IWG) pivotal document on The Assumptions and Principles Underlying Standards for Terminal Care. It was at the Ars Moriendi meetings in Columbia, Maryland that the author first met Bob and Bunny Kastenbaum. The meeting led to the development of IWG and the first task of this group was the development of the “Standards” document. The initial document reflected the pioneering work already being done by Kastenbaum and others on the committee and then was formative in the development of other documents such as the National Hospice Association Standards. Participants in the original workgroup were asked for their reflections on the significance of the document and the literature was surveyed to assess the impact of the “Standards” document on the field.

Abstract:
Yes
While death is universal, reactions to death and ways of dealing with the dead body are hugely diverse, and archaeological research reveals numerous ways of dealing with the dead through time and across the world. In this paper, findings are presented which not only demonstrate the power of archaeology to promote and aid discussion around this difficult and challenging topic, but also how our approach resulted in personal growth and professional development impacts for participants. In this interdisciplinary pilot study, archaeological case studies were used in 31 structured workshops with 187 participants from health and social care backgrounds in the UK, to explore their reactions to a diverse range of materials which documented wide and varied approaches to death and the dead. Our study supports the hypothesis that the past is a powerful instigator of conversation around challenging aspects of death, and after death care and practices: 93% of participants agreed with this. That exposure to archaeological case studies and artefacts stimulates multifaceted discourse, some of it difficult, is a theme that also emerges in our data from pre, post and follow-up questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The material prompted participants to reflect on their biases, expectations and norms around both treatment of the dead, and of bereavement, impacting on their values, attitudes and beliefs. Moreover, 87% of participants believed the workshop would have a personal effect through thinking differently about death and bereavement, and 57% thought it would impact on how they approached death and bereavement in their professional practice. This has huge implications today, where talk of death remains troublesome, and for some, has a near-taboo status – ‘taboo’ being a theme evident in some participants’ own words. The findings have an important role to play in facilitating and normalising discussions around dying and bereavement and in equipping professionals in their work with people with advanced illness.

Abstract:
This chapter describes linking spirituality and Advanced Care Planning (ACP); fear and ACP; how thinking about death changes people; religious views of ACP; denial and ACP; personal control and ACP; ethical principles and ACP; the spiritual work of ACP, including objective asessment; adaptation and ACP; and ritual, sacrament, and ACP. The discussion holds that dying is not primarily a medical event. The process of thinking about end-of-life issues can significantly impact on an individual’s attitudes, values, and belief systems. Dying patients can challenge the cultural illusion that life is going to last forever. This can be hard for families and professionals to accept and challenges their own fears around mortality. The importance and wisdom of religious rituals and religious symbolism cannot be ignored even in the most secular of contexts as they bring comfort to many. ACP is about life before death and can foster resilience and hope.

Abstract:
In recent decades, the cultural, social, medical and political handling of the end of life has been subject to fundamental change. Against the background of the rise of chronic diseases and longer dying processes, new problems have occurred, leading, amongst other things, to new conceptions of terminal care. In this volume, experts from various disciplines (ethnology, history, media and communication studies, medicine, nursing science and sociology) analyse the current debate on dying, death and bereavement and its relevance to society. The articles the book contains focus on key developments at the end of a life, such as current concepts in palliative and hospice care, individual prevention practices and public representations in the (digital) media landscape, and address their institutional and sociocultural contexts. In doing so, they challenge several truisms of previous research that arose due to close connections between social protest and scholarship.

Abstract:
In the late 1960s, LIFE magazine was one of the most widely read and influential periodicals in the world. Renowned for its photojournalism, the general-interest magazine covered all aspects of American life. The November 21, 1969, edition was no exception. It included a review of what would be The Beatles’ final studio album, a profile of Ohio State University head football coach Woody Hayes, and an advertisement for a commemorative book on that summer’s moon landing. It also featured an article on a little-known University of Chicago psychiatrist, Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, and her groundbreaking work with terminally ill patients. In an era when public discourse about death and dying was almost non-existent and when many physicians believed that a patient was better off not knowing his or her prognosis, Kübler-Ross was encouraging candid and open conversations with people about their impending deaths. Her innovative approach and courage to challenge the status quo drew the interest of LIFE editor Loudon Wainwright. His captivating story introducing Kübler-Ross and her new book, On Death and Dying, would forever change the national conversation about end-of-life and grief. The article described Kübler-Ross’s seminar teaching clinicians about the experiences of terminally ill patients. Physicians, nurses, chaplains, and medical students watched through a one-way mirror as she interviewed a twenty-two-year-old woman who had been diagnosed just two weeks earlier with leukemia, which at that time was almost always fatal. Large black-and-white pictures of the patient showed a vibrant and beautiful young woman with long hair and a wide smile. She looked nothing like someone close to death, which in some ways was the point. She talked about her diagnosis and understanding that leukemia would almost certainly kill her. Her willingness to openly discuss the prospect of her own death must have been astounding to those observing the interview. Kübler-Ross theorized that people facing their own mortality proceed through five stages prior to their death. In the first stage, the person is unable or unwilling to accept that he or she is going to die (Denial).

Abstract:
Most readers of Christopher Marlowe’s Edward II locate the play’s radicalism in the sexualized challenge that Edward’s homoerotic relations with Gaveston and the Spensers pose to dynastic monarchy and aristocratic governance. This chapter replaces erotics with necrotics to argue that royal sodomy and homoerotic friendship can be accommodated by the play’s political order with relative ease; royal death, by contrast, exposes fundamental weaknesses within dominant conceptions of sovereignty. While recent queer theory has aligned queerness with mortality, Edward II pointedly detaches sexuality from death, offering Edward political opportunities in dying that are unavailable through queer eroticism. In prison, Edward subsumes regimes of dynastic sovereignty within the biological existence of the body. Even once dead, Edward is not superseded because the theater suggests he may still be minimally present, in the slippage between bodies and in props, in the presence of an actor offstage, and in the violence carried out in his name. Rather than supporting a particular structure of power, Edward’s death indicates the range of political potentialities inherent in exposure to mortality, which might alternatively support republican, absolutist, bureaucratic, or tyrannical regimes.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how death loomed over the nineteenth-century encounter between Christianity and the peoples of the Gold Coast. It highlights the evangelists who sought to overturn established values and ways of life in order to challenge the very idea of mortality itself: by abandoning idolatry and embracing the salvation offered by Christ. If African religious practice was resolutely this-worldly, aimed at maintaining the beneficence of deities and ancestors in order to defer death, Christianity was distinctly otherworldly, seeking to wash away sin so that the repentant might enjoy a blissful life beyond the grave. The chapter explores how the Akan and their neighbours regarded death, and explains the centrality of the doctrine of eschatology to the Christian message. Finally, the chapter assesses the further expansion of the Christian faith into Asante and the acceleration of conversion in the era of colonial rule. New perceptions of life after death, new funerary customs, and new ways of dying were crucial components of this religious transformation.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on child mortality. Child mortality is declining worldwide, according to a half-century’s worth of data from the Human Mortality Database and the World Health Organization (WHO). Since the 1980s, however, the United States has had higher rates of mortality for kids aged 0 to 19, compared to other wealthy Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations. In 2013, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ranked the health and safety of children in the United States 25th out of 29 developed countries. Meanwhile, according to a 2018 Health Affairs study, from 2001 to 2010, the risk of death in the United States compared to peer nations was 76% greater for infants and 57% greater for children and youth age 1 to 19. In that same time frame, American teens age 15 to 19 were 82 times likelier to die from gun-related homicide. As such, US policymakers need to focus on preventing child mortality by preventing the largest contributors to this challenge: perinatal deaths, car accidents, and firearm assaults.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the many dimensions of hope and identifies its possible influence on health and quality of life. Hope is a key factor in coping with and finding meaning in the experience of life-threatening illness. Hope is integrally entwined with spiritual and psychosocial well-being. Although terminal illness can challenge and even temporarily diminish hope, the dying process does not inevitably bring despair. The human spirit, manifesting its creativity and resiliency, can forge new and deeper hopes at the end of life. Palliative care nurses play important roles in supporting patients and families with this process by providing expert physical, psychosocial, and spiritual care. Sensitive, skillful attention to maintaining hope can enhance quality of life and contribute significantly to a “good death,” as defined by the patient and family. Fostering hope is a primary means by which palliative care nurses accompany patients and families on the journey through terminal illness. In this chapter, nursing assessment and strategies to nurture and respect individual variations in hope are described. Specific issues such as “unrealistic hopefulness” and cultural considerations in the expression and maintenance of hope are discussed. The goals of the chapter are to provide the reader with an understanding about this complex but vital phenomenon; to offer guidance in the clinical application of this concept to palliative nursing care; and to explore some of the controversies about hope that challenge clinicians.

Abstract:
This chapter’s claim is that arguments for legalising assisted dying essentially follow one of two paths. We can either justify it in the person’s self-determination (the “autonomy path”), or in the person having rational, good reasons for his death wish (the “rationality path”). Both these lines of argument have radical consequences when their logical implications are fully pursued, and an attempt to balance these principles will be under constant pressure. This presents a challenge to those who think it is fairly straightforward to design our preferred assisted dying law, and should make us think through carefully what any legalisation will entail and what principles underlie it. If we take the principle of self-determination seriously, it leads to a very liberal assisted dying law that few Nordic advocates of legalisation would want. On the other hand, choosing the path of rationality requires that we, as a society, define criteria for when life is “not worth living”, based on characteristics that large groups of fellow human beings possess, including those who do not share a desire to die.
