Kniha Milost v umírání nabízí důležitý náhled na transformace, k nimž dochází při umírání. Náhled, který zatím nebyl jasně vysvětlen jazykem dnešní doby. To byl jeden z autorčiných cílů – podělit se o pozorování jemných dimenzí a hlubokých transformací, s nimiž se setkáváme v blízkosti smrti, jazykem rozvíjející se moudrosti Západu. Jejím záměrem při psaní bylo zpřístupnit tento pohled co nejvíce lidem, ať už slyšeli o psychospirituální transformaci nebo ne. Snažila se zachovat výklad co nejpřesněji, ovšem tak, aby byl zároveň přístupný široké veřejnosti.
Right from the start Kathleen Dowling Singh proclaims: "Dying is safe. You are safe. Your loved one is safe. That is the message of all the words here." True to her promise, Dowling Singh walks us through the final stages of death with complete honesty, yet she manages to quell the ultimate fear of dying. Speaking of the "Nearing Death Experience," Singh has discovered a sequence of phases or qualities that signals when a dying person is entering the final stages of spiritual and psychological transformation. She names them as relaxation, withdrawal, radiance, interiority (a time of going inward), silence, sacred, transcendence, knowing, intensity, and perfection--all of which she explains in great detail. A hospice worker and worldwide lecturer, Dowling Singh is being touted as the next Kubler-Ross. Time will tell. One thing is for certain: this is an astonishingly intelligent and engrossing book about consciously surrendering our bodies and our egos to death. There are 500,000 hospice patients in the U.S. and 5 million hospice workers worldwide. And every one of them would probably find profound comfort in this breakthrough book on dying. --Gail Hudson
