Waiting for the Last Bus: Reflections on Life and Death by Richard Holloway
4.0
My husband and I were on one of our last trips after both our parents passed away. We had been taking care of them for the last four years of their lives.
We were exhausted, and this was an opportunity for us to get away and just rest. And yet, we couldn't help but feel ourselves still wrapped in grief. There was so much to process and understand and appreciate about the experience of end-of-life.
At the Pilgrim's Way Bookstore in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA I was perusing through some books, and this book stood out to me, so I decided to purchase it. I am now bringing my review to Goodreads.
Wonderful.
Insightful.
Intelligent.
Humble.
Thoughtful.
Difficult.
The author considers his good life and how people manage their worries. He explores the big questions and faces his own uncertainties.
Mostly he gets to the very crux of what it means to be alive.
There is discussion about after-life. When he goes there, he loses me a bit. I appreciate more his discussion on making the most of being here now.
