Forever Ours by Janis Amatuzio
Dr Janis Amatuzio, known as 'the compassionate coroner', has overseen thousands of autopsies. In the course of her work, she has heard many amazing stories from patients close to death and from the relatives of the deceased. These accounts have confirmed Dr Amatuzio's belief that, contrary to the prevailing atttitude in the medical community, which states that death is merely the absence of life, some part of the person's spirit indeed goes on. In this collection are stories of profound mysteries and inexplicable coincidences - such as the patient who on the day of his death insisted that he had been visited by a friend forty years dead -, and incredible synchronicities - such as the two daughters, thousands of miles apart, who experienced unexplained sensations at the precise moment their father passed away. Heartfelt, deeply moving and ultimately uplifting in its message of hope and comfort, this is truly a dispatch from the front line of the mysteries of life and death.
'A deeply compassionate, extraordinarily sensitive, and objectively scientific exploration of the mystery of death, this book is a wonderful gift to caregivers, patients, family members, and every person who has ever thought about our human mortality and the meaning of lifeThis means, of course, that FOREVER OURS is a gift to us all.' -- Neale Donald Walsch 'Dr Amatuzio, often called "the compassionate coroner", is an exemplar for the compassionate practice of forensic medicine. FOREVER OURS has much to teach us about healing, loving, and the deep connections with our loved ones.' -- Kathleen McMonigal, MD, pathologist, Aerospace Med 'FOREVER OURS is the only book I know that finds buoyant, optimistic meaning in the morgue. It could be written only by a physician of uncommon vision, who, although she attends to dead bodies, is a healer.' -- Larry Dossey, MD, author of HEALING BEYOND THE BOD
