Passages: The Mystery of Death – Finding Meaning in Life

Death is an inevitable stop along the timeless journey of life. Whether grieving the loss of a loved one, or confronting our own mortality, death will touch us all. Tomas and Garth Fuller assembled a collection of poems, philosophy and inspirational writings surveying man’s exploration of the mystery of death and, in death’s reflection, the meaning of life. Passages: The Mystery of Death - Finding Meaning in Life brings thoughtful and profound perspectives together on a personal journey to discover how we grieve, cope, adjust to loss and eventually, the way we heal. Bringing new viewpoints, meaning and comfort at a time in our existence when we feel so alone, Passages reveals through poetry, philosophy and inspirational words, that we are all one.

“Understanding the impact of death is a significant part of life for all of us and it transcends geographic and cultural boundaries,” said Tomas Fuller, co-editor of Passages: The Mystery of Death - Finding Meaning in Life. “Passages addresses the inevitable human experience of death and dying in a very personal and individual way that can provide inspiration and comfort during the most challenging times of our lives,” he added.

Editors Tomas Fuller and Garth Fuller share this collection of simplistically insightful and meaningful reflections on a not so simple topic. Passages brings together the work of great poets and philosophers, and common men and women from across time and around the world. Works of the ancient Greeks, Confucius, Lao-Tzu, Buddhist monks and Sufi mystics are intermingled with great American and European poets. Excerpts from the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita and the Koran are represented along with wise proverbs of the Crowfoot and Minquass Indians and the Ewe and Dinka people of Africa. With each entry, Passages winds its way through life’s most emotional and solitary experience as a powerful reference for those in sorrow while inspiring and challenging readers to think about death, and life, in new ways.

Those who have ever experienced the loss of a loved one or close friend have felt the impact and comfort Passages provides. “When my mother died suddenly, the days after her death were absolutely overwhelming for me. Never having gone through such a loss before, I needed something that could provide me with perspective, something that would keep me from feeling hopeless and withdrawing from friends and family. Leafing through the pages of Passages gave me the strength to face the dark days after her death not as the end, but as a new beginning,” said Karl Jakobsen, a 30-year-old California artist and video game designer.

Beautifully printed and linen bound, Passages is a thoughtful and sensitive gift for those who have lost a loved one.
