This Book Was A Wonderful Recommendation

Both my mother and mother-in-law passed witjin a few months of each other. I've struggled with my grief for over 3 years. This book has truly touched me and even though I'm STILL reading (just about 3/4 through), I am finding "how to live, die and be" ... A book that is an answer to both my questions and prayers. Beautifully written, with love and light. I am grateful to the author for his insights, compassion for the frailty of life and his boundless humanity.
