Helen Nearing :Conscious Living/Conscious Dying

Loving and Leaving the Good Life by HELEN NEARING
Chelsea Green Publishing Company 1992

Helen and Scott Nearing,authors of Living the Good Life and many other books, lived together for 53 years until Scott's death at age 100. Living and Leaving the Good Life is Helen Nearing's memoir of their life together and an inspiring testimonil to the ideals they stood for: self-sufficiency, simplicity, social justice, and peace. 

In 1932, after deciding it would be better to be poor in the country than in the city, Helen and Scott moved from New York City to Vermont. Here they created their legendary homestead which they described in Living the Good Life : How to Live Simply and Sanely in a Troubled World, a book that has sold 250,000 copies and inspired thousands of young people to move back to the land.

The Nearings moved to Maine in 1953, where they continued their hard physical work as homesteaders and heir intens intellectual work promoting scial justice. Thirty years later, as Scott approached his 100th birthday, he decided it was time to prepare for his death. He stopped eating, and six weeks later Helen held him and said goodbye.

Loving and Leaving the Good Life is a vivid self-portrait of an independent,committed and gifted woman. It is also an eloquent statement of what it means to grow old and to face death quietly, peacefully, and in control. At 88, Helen seems content to be nearing the end of her good life. As she puts it, "To have partaken of and to have given love is the greatest of life's rewards. There seems never an end to the loving that goes on gorever and ever. Loving and leaving are part of living."
