The author says that the book is not a treatment of death “the saddest, darkest, most solemn, most inevitable, most tremendous fact in the world.” It is merely “the record of the sincere and faltering thoughts of one who was suddenly and unexpectedly confronted with death, and who, in the midst of a very ordinary and commonplace life, with no deep reserves of wisdom, faith, or tenderness, had just to interpret it as he best could.”
