Customer Reviews

An amazing account of death and dying
An amazing book for those of us who have lost loved ones, and for those of us who wonder what death my be like. This is a great follow up to her book, On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss. While a shorter book, it is more pointed in the message that the death of ourselves and our loved ones is merely a transition into another form of existance. Like her book on Grief and Grieving, I find myself in tears as I read this book with the lovely stories told in these pages.

This book is not written from any specific religion slant, it is written from a more basic human side. She has collected many years worth of personal experience in spending time with those who are dying, and has walked away many points that would help anyone dealing with loved ones who have died, or may be dying. I would encourage anyone to read this book that has open questions about what is it like to die, is death painful, do you die alone, are there near death experiences, and so much more. It is a must read.

Short and Unique
This is a slightly different book on NDE's from some of the others. It's short and has a softer tone in my opinion. And it's from a doctor's perspective. I really enjoyed it. The author had her own experiences and spent many years working with the dying. So she is less a researcher and more of an experiencer, not that either way is better or worse, but they give different perspectives. Don't miss Lessons from the Light by Kenneth Ring. That's my favorite overall, along with this one.

Life after Death
On Life After Death

This book was very helpful for me to anticipate and go through the death of my mother. I had read it long ago when my first husband died and had often thought about it since. It was good to have it more clearly in mind to answer skeptics who claimed that what was viewed as the spirit leaves the body was just from a lack of oxygen to the brain, therefore hallucinations. Several interviews in the book absolutely squash that idea.
