 Life after Death April 27, 2008
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.
Deeply comforting, a short read but extremely powerful to all of those who have lost a loved one. January 30, 2008
This tiny book (only 82 pages) offers the kind of hope all those who have been devastated by the loss of a loved one so often seek and seldom find. It should, of course, be read as an adjunct to Kubler-Ross' later book On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss It is the seventeenth (17th) book about grief and grieving that I have read since my father left this world for the next almost six months ago. I have found it to be the most moving. The author, now deceased herself, was a physician who worked for years with dying adults and children, not only believed but was CONVINCED that there IS life after death and there ARE people awaiting us "who died before you, who loved and treasured you a lot". This theme has been repeated in a number of works about grief including Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven: A True Story of Death & Life, Don Piper, himself a Bapist minister who actually reportedly died for 90 minutes and came back to life convinced of the existence of a beautiful afterlife.
A University of Michigan educated Masters level social worker (MSW) for 29 years I STRONGLY recommend this book for all those who grieve and for the mental health and pastoral professionals who work to help them.
The book concludes with the words "Death is but a transition from this life to another existence where there is no more pain and anguish." This is linked with the author's previous reference to "the death of a human body...identical to what happens when the butterfly emerges from a cocoon....Dying is only moving from one house into a more beautiful one....As soon as the cocoon in an irreparable condition--be it from suicide, murder, heart attack or chronic disease, it doesn't matter how it happened--it will release the butterfly, your soul so to speak....when you die...the connection between the cocoon and the butterfly...will be severed. After this, it is not possible to return to the earthly body. But you wouldn't want to return to it anyway, for after seeing the light nobody wants to go back...Here there is understanding without judging, and here you experience unconditional love....God is unconditional love."

I read this book immediately after my grandmother died about five years ago. At the time I felt afraid of death and needed some meaning around it. This book helped me know that no one is alone when they die and that in fact we are surrounded by love. This is one of the most important books I have ever read. I am no longer afraid of death and, while I wouldn't rush it, a little part of me looks forward to seeing eveyone when the moment comes. There is peace and beauty in this very natural event.
Highly recommended June 11, 2007

Once started reading this book, I couldn't put it down and read it through within a couple of hours. As a counsellor I found this book an excellent addition to my therapy sessions and not only is it a fantastic tool for the counsellor or practitioner, but also very valuable for the person on the street, as it is written in the most beautiful, but also understandable language. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross provides through her books - comfort, empathy and the very necessary message of a loving spirit.
