KASIRAM, Madhu  y  SARTORI, Penny. Positive living strategies that can be learned from studies on near-death experiences and life-threatening illnesses. Social work (Stellenbosch. Online) [online]. 2015, vol.51, n.3, pp.456-466. ISSN 2312-7198.  https://doi.org/51-3-458.

This article addresses the two related issues of near-death experience and life-threatening illness with a view to helping survivors and helping professionals appreciate how to make sense of the experience whilst considering future living and future service provision. The article is based on two related research studies, citing literature from different disciplines of nursing, women's health, spirituality and near death. This research was undertaken in the light of these experiences affecting so many aspects of life and living. The need to "dialogue with death" (Easwaran, 2008: Foreword) and life-threatening illness is the key message as opposed to shunning what is not readily understood and appreciated.
