Books on the Dying Process

Everybody dies.
But not everyone thinks about dying.
These books provide an overview of the dying process and its many aspects:

• emotional
• social
• legal 
• spiritual  
• physical 

While I am not planning on dying anytime soon, I would like a preview.  It's my habit to research elements of my various life stages as I move through them.
I've actually read almost 60 books on death and dying by taking a very broad view from getting the diagnosis, through illness, caregiving, death, burial / cremation and even beyond to the grief / mourning of loved ones.
I also have novels on my bigger list. If you would like to see the full list, see my virtual bookshelf on Goodreads.
This post is more narrowly defined.  I'm listing books in reverse chronology of publication, split into two categories:

Books by Doctors and Other Medical Personnel

Albom, Mitch. Tuesdays with Morrie (1997). Review
I have found that those with cancer are overrepresented in books about the dying process, especially in memoirs.  In the books above, Hitchens and Pausch are both cogent enough to describe their experience as terminally ill people.
Nevertheless, I want to make a special note that Alzheimer's Disease is also a terminal illness that can have a long trajectory like cancer.  This gives the person with the disease and their loved ones a space for reflection that many lack when facing death.  I don't have books about the dying process for Alzheimer's Disease here because I have a separate post listing books about dementia. It's the caregivers who witness the dying process and can write about it.
