Someone you love is dying. Or you have been given a diagnosis. Or you are sitting at a deathbed with no idea what to do, what to say, or whether any of it matters. Forty-Nine Days was written for that moment, and for the preparation that must begin long before the crisis arrives.

Drawing on more than two decades of practice inside four Buddhist traditions, this book brings together what the traditions have learned about dying with what contemporary neuroscience is only beginning to confirm. The prefrontal cortex, the seat of the narrative self, fails early in the dying process. What persists longer is older and deeper: emotional memory, the capacity to register whether the room is calm or frightened, the ability to hear a familiar voice. The dying person is still present, still receiving, still being shaped by what surrounds them. This has practical consequences for everyone who will ever sit at a deathbed.
