Author Description

Longing to Live Learning to Die is a memoir focusing on how Donn Weinholtz and his family coped with multiple deaths. Touched with humor throughout, the book transcends one family's experience to illustrate a commonly shared journey from denial to acceptance." I would highly recommend Longing to Live Learning to Die to anyone who has ever sat by the deathbed of a friend or relative, anyone who has ever wondered how they would cope with their parents' death, anyone who works in the field or who has interest in patient welfare." -Stephanie Weinrich, Director, The Natural Death Center, London, U.K."Donn Weinholtz had me crying and laughing, more times than I can remember, with his deeply felt family story of love, hope, humor, frustration, acceptance of illness and struggles with death. If I could use only one book to teach young therapists how resiliency sustains a healthy family, I'd choose this one." -William Taylor, M.D.
