This book I read while going to college years ago. At the time I had a hard time getting through the first edition, being I had not had any dealings with death at the time. But when a death by a loved one came to my life, the phased of death and dying in this book brought me much help. It also helped me with knowledge for my new book, written after this tragic death. Thank you for this book. Sincerely Shirley Kalpin-Olson author of "The Truth Shall Set You Free", "Train Wreck in the Sierras" and new story coming soon to Amazon, "Life After Death" under Shirley Olson.
