Are love and life stronger than death? Is the inevitability of our mortality the ultimate source of existential suffering? Or, as the proverb goes, how do we live knowing that we shall die? Love may be the most powerful force in the universe but it cannot stop death. In the course of living, we all will experience the pain of losing our most beloved relationships. Furthermore, the degree to which our own mortality affects our living is incontestable. While every cell in our being desperately wants to live, the only inevitable reality is that one day we shall all die. In moments of profound loss or when our own mortality is threatened, it would seem that death is the greatest source of suffering in life. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
