Life Changing
When the US was attacked and so many lives were lost, I needed to examine my beliefs about death. I refused to think about death at all before this. Then, I found this book and it changed my life. It is intelligently written, using examples and descriptions from several spiritual traditions and quantum physics in addition to first-hand experiences. It answered many of the questions I have carried around for years while offering a great deal more for me to consider. More than that, I feel comforted in my beliefs about an Afterlife now and am more confident in my abilities to help the grieving.

Powerful
I found this book after reading the author's other one, Pagan Parenting, which we LOVED. I was blown away by the depth of experience and sharing that went into this book. It was truly powerful and made me think about alot of my own beliefs. This book was an important asset when talking about death with our children, When our dog died, it offered a great deal of hope and solace as well as appropriate ritual to use to our entire family.

WOW! is just not enough.
There are other reviews here that give details about how good this book is. I can only tell you that this book was printed and released at a time when I needed it most. As I read each chapter, I found the information was accurate with my experiences. In a culture that fears death and dying so very much, we are looking for comforting words in books, religious texts and personal lectures ... arenas that can be easily abused or imporperly handled. This book is a keeper. Even if you are not 'into' Shamanism, this book will help you better understand the processes of death and dying.
