    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The experience of watching someone you love die is a classic human experience. The sudden realization that they might die is not.

    #2 My friend Friedel was in the hospital after having a major stroke. I was with her, and I decided to spend the night there in the emergency room. I would do whatever I could for as long as it took.

    #3 Friedel had the surgery, and it went well. She came out of it smiling, and Dr. P. declared, I’m proud of her! Death receded. But a clot lodged in the new stent, and Friedel had a stroke immediately after returning to her room.

    #4 The Grim Reaper metaphor is wrong. We think we’re separate from death, when in reality, we are not. Death keeps giving us life, killing old cells to make room for new ones.
