Sushila Blackman was a student of the Hindu master Swami Muktananda, and was present at his ashram in India during his death. A few months before she completed Graceful Exits, Blackman learned that she had advanced lung cancer. She died a month and a half after finishing the book.
"The striking element in these accounts is a sense of being fully
prepared to meet death. Blackman grappled with lung cancer and came
to peace with her own fears about death as she compiled this book,
completed only a few months before she died."—Library Journal
"Written in lucid prose, the book is a training manual for making
graceful exits from this life."—Publishers Weekly
"Not since the ground-breaking work of Kubler-Ross on death and
dying has there been such a much needed compilation of
inspirational stories and examples of how to prepare oneself for
the inevitable."—Midwestern Book Review
"This beautiful little book is a gem. It contributes to our
understanding that we are truly timeless."—Deepak Chopra, M.D.
"A magical little volume. It reveals with simplicity and lucidity
how wise and compassionate living leads to a wise and compassionate
death."—Glenn H. Mullin, author of Death and Dying: The Tibetan
Tradition
