Knocking on Heaven’s Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death
By Katy Butler
Knocking on Heaven’s Door: The Path to a Better Way of Death is part memoir and part investigative report. Butler’s thesis is that “ modern medicine in its pursuit of maximum longevity often creates more suffering than it prevents”.

My daughter and I both used the DeathWise® Map Tool. It got us talking about what will happen when I die. We reviewed my finances and healthcare wishes. I discovered how important it was to her to have a memorial service after I die. It’s not a conversation we’d ever had before, and we both felt better afterwards.
