About the Book

"Life", said George Bernard Shaw, "does not cease to be funny when someone dies, any more than it ceases to be serious when someone laughs". With heartening and amusing examples from a world in which many think, there is no laughter, Allen Klein augments the truth of Shaw's insightfulness. Illustrating the inherent importance of the ability to laugh, Klein gives readers the power to face the end of life with dignity and compassion.

With poignant wisdom from children, parents, doctors, and nurses, combined with the spirited writing of the author, The Courage to Laugh is a lifesaving tool for everyone experiencing a serious illness and for the people who care for them.
