This book talks about how people facing death are the teachers of the school called life, and what we need to learn in the school of life are identity, love, human relationships, time, fear, patience, play, forgiveness, acceptance, loss and happiness. Each one of us at some point asks this question. the tragedy is not that life is short, but that we often see only in hindsight what really matters. we all have lessons to learn during this time called life; this is especially apparent when working with the dying. The dying learn a great deal at the end of life, usually when it is too late to apply I have not died because I am still learning the lessons of life, my final lessons.These lessons are the ultimate truths about our lives; they are the secrets to life itself. Our lessons in life involve working on our smallness, getting rid of our negativity and finding the best in our- selves and each other. These lessons are the windstorms of life, they make us who we are. We are here to heal one another and ourselves. a summarized version of the actual book that is written by Elisabeth Kubler Ross & David Kessler.
