In a modern world, we are continually preoccupied by others' perceptions of our own lives - we have created false hierarchies of human value. Death is a topic that is speculated upon and gossiped about and the acceptance that it is both the beginning and end of a journey has been disregarded. Wouldn't we all be happier if we recognised that every second of life is an infinite gift and so lived accordingly?
In Gone Before Us, Fr. Emmanuel Okami guides readers to reflect on death, both spiritually and emotionally, covering topics from grieving for loved ones to preparing for your own death. This book helps readers to recognise that the ultimate goal is to be a citizen of heaven and offers the quiet comfort that even in death, we still speak.
Fr. Emmanuel offers a unique insight into the enigma of death and weaves modern events and anecdotes with Scripture and prayer, to help us return to the idea that a good death is simply a holy death - to die in a state of grace.
