“If you’re never going to die, you don’t need this book”

Gretchen, I just finish reading your book “Choices in the Afterlife”, thank you for a wonderful reading experience. So many of my questions have been answered in reading your book. I like to think that I am not afraid to die, I feel that I am ready whenever my time will come.
But since my husband’s death I had several questions as to what he my be going through and what I had been going through in my grief process. He was ready to go, he even had told me when his condition was diagnosed that he would be dead in 5 years, well we had 6. His death experience was a good one, from my perspective. He asked for and was given permission to “go”, most of his family were with him and had the chance to tell him goodbye and that they loved him. His last spoken words to me were “Help me, help me die”. I sat with him and held his hand and told him over and over that it was ok, he was free, he could just let go, to let go of all that pain. I felt his presence later that day, I felt his kiss on my face, it felt as if he was kissing me just as I had kissed him that morning. We, my children and I, have had several dreams of my husband they all seem to have a smiliar message, my most profound dream was that I was standing outside next to a tree, and as I turned toward the tree I saw my husband, he looked to be about 30, dressed in his demin jacket and jeans, I moved toward him and he opened his arms to take me into a huge hug, in that dream I was finally able to cry. I fell that he is always there, just around the corner.

Your book makes perfect scence to me, it rings so true. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Thank You again.
Nancy
