    About this ebook

    DYING IN EGYPT: A REMARKABLE TALE OF DEATH AND ITS COMPLEXITIES is a story of what every traveler most dreads - getting sick and dying in an alien land where no one speaks your language, both the culture and the religion is different than your own, and you know no one. It is also a story about the devastating grief that occurs when you lose someone you truly love. But most importantly, it is a story about coping with that devastation and slowly learning how to live a meaningful life without diminishing your loss. The tale involves a perfectly health 70-year-old going on a world tour who suddenly falls ill on her way to Egypt and 11 days later is dead, six of those days in a coma. During that time, her husband tries to cope with a different culture, a different religion and a different medical system. Upon his wifes death, he has to cope with the huge complexities of getting her body back to the United States, coming to terms with his overwhelming grief, and slowly learning that life goes on.

    DYING IN EGYPT was written to help future travelers cope if disaster should strike them in a foreign land; it was written to help all those who suffer severe loss to learn how to deal with the emotional storm that tends to overcome you; it was written to suggest survival is possible if you dont just give up. Finally it reviews various cultural attitudes toward death and its survivors; various religious perspectives on death and surviving; and a few insights modern psychology may offer in this area.

    Harve E. Rawson

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR Harve E. Rawson was raised in the Ozark Mountains of Southwestern Missouri. He attended Antioch College and then Ohio State University where he received his Ph.D. in psychology. His first post-doctoral job was working for North American Aviation as a psychologist on "Project Apollo." After that, he began a long career as a professor at Hanover College, a small liberal arts college in the Midwest. During his 32-year tenure at Hanover, Dr. Rawson taught thousands of students, completed post-doctoral work in both experimental and clinical psychology, founded and directed (for 25 years) a short-term residential treatment center for behaviorally-disoriented children, was twice president of the Indiana Psychological Association, was awarded the Indiana Psychology Association's Distinguished Academic Psychologist Award and later their Community Service Award for his work with children, was awarded Hanover College's first teaching award (receiving it a second time in 1980) and, in 1988, was named a Fulbright Scholar with assignment in Bahrain. In 1994, the same year as his early retirement from Hanover, Dr. Rawson was again named a Fulbright Scholar, but instead became Dean of Faculty and, later, Dean of the College of Franklin College (another small liberal arts college). In 1998, he was appointed visiting professor of psychology at Mississippi State University, a brief interlude prior to further world travels which now includes over 170 countries. Dr. Rawson has over the past decade completed two radio broadcast series, 3 CDs, and seven published books ranging from a collection of parables drawn from his early childhood, three books of travel tales, a book on his college teaching experiences, a book on parenting, a radio series on world travel, a science-fiction "retro-historical" novel, a family history, and a book centered on the experiences of a World War II soldier.
