Conversations about end of life in both the classroom as well as in the clinical area are difficult to raise. The issues are many and vary due to culture, personal experience with death/dying, and belief systems. Author Jason Mott has written three works of fiction that explore thinking about end-of-life. The Returned (2013) describes a situation in which people who had died decades earlier randomly and inexplicably returned to life. Among other things, this work can be used to examine terms used synonymously with returning to life (as opposed to examining terms used for dying/death); to imagine life before and after a granted wish (“I wish she was still alive”). The Wonder of All Things (2014) tells the story of a young teenager whose touch can heal and with each healing action takes a bit more of her life. This storyline can be used to explore the limits of healing and life-extension and questions of whose life is more important. The Crossing (2018) tells of a society in which lives are ended by war as well as by people simply falling asleep and not awakening. This can be used to open conversation about the type of death one wishes, as well as who (government or individual) gets to make decisions about the type of death.
