Death is inevitable and is an existential fear for all human beings. But it is the devastating thought of departing this earth alone and in agony that renders our inevitable transition such a fearful endeavour. For many, it is not so much facing the afterlife, as most religions provide some support in that area, but it is in the way we will end our lives that is the major source of concern. How many of us hope and pray to be blessed with an angel, a loved one that will give us the patient support and attend to our very needs during our last days? Such dedicated souls are few and far apart, and rare are the ones that will undertake that exhausting and onerous task. This book is about one of them though, Pierre, a loving husband who, without hesitation, put his life aside to become the sole caretaker of his wife, Louise, diagnosed with a devastating cancer.

...very moving, yet a painful account of his own journey as he cared for, loved and treasured dear Louise until she crossed the veil into the spirit dimension. This book can provide a deep understanding of our journey on earth and how to face going from the darkness to the light. ~ Marilyn Rossner Ph.D, EdD, International Institute of Integral Human Sciences
