The Promise of Death, the Passion of Life is the first
in a series of books that journey into what is often considered
a difficult and painful topic—death and loss, but is told
in a warm, narrative style using personal experiences with death,
illness, and loss, and brings light to an often dark arena. What
is fresh and distinctive about this concept and accompanying texts
is the positive, life affirming lessons that are examined through
the lens of loss.
This first book is a unique examination of the universal experience
of loss and the nature of life's temporary status. The Promise
of Death, the Passion of Life not only examines the common
experiences of loss and death, it demonstrates a way of living,
a state of grace, that can be found in the harsh truths of human
existence. While the book allows readers to take from the stories
their own conclusions about what can be learned and gained in facing
loss, Jana's own perspective about fully embracing life will resonate
loudly with readers.
