Right Death and Dying

In keeping with the spirit of the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path, I would like to respectfully consider the principle of "Right Dying".
In recent years a great deal has been written about what might be called "the ecology of death and dying": numerous articles and books are available to inform us about the physical, psychological and social care of people facing death from terminal disease. All of this is surely welcomed.

This is how an article about Right Death starts on Know Buddhism, which works to investigate and apply eastern thoughts into our modern lives. I gives interesting reading for those who are sick, worry to die one day or had a recent loss like me.
