Abstract

This final issue of JORH for 2022 revisits the topics of (1) cancer, (2) religious philosophy, and (3) uniquely collates a number of papers discussing the theme of death and dying-which seems an appropriate topic given the conclusion and celebration of life for one of the most internationally admired monarchs, Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022). Lastly a call for papers is issued regarding religion, spirituality, suicide, and its prevention: https://www.springer.com/journal/10943/updates/23471166 .

Keywords: Cancer; Death; Dying; Queen Elizabeth II; Religious philosophy.
