In this book, Ann Graber takes the reader on a marvelous journey: first, through her own experience of having to confront her mortality when she suffered a traumatic injury, came very close to dying, and gained remarkable insights about death as the beginning of our ongoing adventure of being; next, through helping others face the process of dying and its associated fears; and finally, through the memoir of Kay, who moved through the final stages of life with courage and preparation, enabling the reader to enter into the spirit of her transition into Light. Examples of celebrating the life of a departed loved one-with commemorations that console the bereaved-are included.

Pirtle, Ed.D.

I would recommend this book to everyone concerned with the dying process--most especially those in hospice work and grief counseling." --John F. Commerford, M.D.

Besides the repetition, another thing that makes this selection unique is that not one of the tales is common. Daniel is again moved to a higher position within the Babylonian government. I thought the very first topic, inverse functions, was so poorly described that I showed it to a friend, who concurred. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
