The beauty of the words and the striking simplicity of its sentiment has made this one of the most inspired messages of comfort and hope for those who have suffered loss. This is the first publication as a book for a poem that has been recited at memorial services for over a century. What is Dying? is a moving meditation on death, with a reassuring power that speaks directly to those who have been recently bereaved, and millions of people have been comforted by its serenity and acceptance. The poem speaks movingly and directly with the voice of faith that sustains us during a time of grief. Ben Ecclestone's sensitive illustrations perfectly complement the words of Bishop Brent's poem.
