How can we find solace when we face the death of loved ones? How can we find solace in our own death? When philosopher Joshua Glasgow s mother was diagnosed with cancer he struggled to answer these questions for her and for himself. Though death and immortality introduce some of the most basic and existentially compelling questions in philosophy Glasgow found that the dominant theories came up short. Recalling the last months of his mother s life Glasgow reveals the breakthrough he finally arrived at for himself from which readers can learn and find solace. When we are grateful for life we value all of it and this includes death its natural culmination. Just as we are grateful for the value in our lives we can affirm this value in death. This is how to face death in a way that is both rational and comforting–in a way that provides solace. Too often we think about death as nothing but a loss. But if we shift our thinking we can focus on how the goodness of life radiates to all its parts even to death itself. In this way we can find solace in death without having to resort to sentimentalism and we can do so in a way that is equally relevant for the religious and non-religious. This path to solace provides a reassuring and significant tool for those grappling with the fact that we pass away.
