My sister was given this book early in the dying of my brother-in-law. This allowed her to improve their relationship before he passed away.

I have read it but am not talented as Hans and others so this is not an attempt to review a book.

The page above has several comments concerning the book.

Paul, your sister was one I always looked up to (admired greatly; aspired to be just like her) as a young girl. My continued sympathies to her in the death of Otis and all the implications that has for her. Thanks for recommending this book.

Grace and blessings to you, Bettina, and the entire family,

Thanks. Perhaps I can peek at it at a bookstore. Clicked here, signed in, but it said that it didn't have me on record as having bought anything, so it wouldn't even let me peek at page one, or an excerpt, to see what it's really like. 'Said something about not allowing browsers to read copyrighted stuff ... as if reading one or two pages is going to violate a copyright? Strange .......... oh, well ............ :rolleyes:

That looks like a helpful book. I turn 35 this year and my mother died at 35. For years, I've told my husband (I just said it today) "C'mere and look at this. In case I die, you need to know how to do this." :-) He said I've been saying that for years.

I have never had trouble saying "I love you," but my dear brother did. Unfortunately, he did not feel he got to say good-bye to my mother and I know had he come straight home from school that day as she had asked that morning, he would have loved the chance to say "Forgive me," and "I love you." It looks like this book would be a good one for all of us to read -- death doesn't come in long, protracted ways for everyone. It can be sudden.

Living in an attitude of "I love you," is just a godly way to be. If this book can help others remember to do that, it'd be a blessing.

Since I'm an old man I try to keep my relationships clear. It is difficult sometimes but we must be able to say those things to everybody - not just our spouses or families.
