Reader Comment "Jana is not only enlightening readers to bring a perspective of death, most importantly she is sending a message of hope about how to live." Kim Lawrence, R.N. |
Bernard McGrane, PhD, Professor of Sociology at Chapman University, read the book and offers the following comments: "Reflecting on death improves life—every area of it. It deepens and expands life. It makes life more dangerously real and poignantly beautiful. It makes life more precious right now. Such is the simple and profound, the simply profound, lesson of Jana Baldridge Vargas' immensely practical book. Her work leaves the reader with the same feeling, tone, and insight as Tuesdays with Morrie. Like that work, it somehow transmits personal, useable wisdom. While reading it, I felt like I was having an ordinary yet somehow life-altering conversation with a dear and familiar friend in my living room. Before and beyond anything else life is love, the practice and the relationship of love. It is those who we love, and this work provides a brilliant and powerful distinction between 'my own death' and the loss of others-that-I love. It is an extraordinary contribution." |
