Download or read book Dying with Grace written by Fran A. Repka and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about living, even as one is dying. It is a book about the choices we make: choosing spiritual risk rather than security; choosing surrender to a hunger for God, rather than hanging on to life or fighting death. It is a book on how the quality of ones relationships with God, creation, self, and others can either help or hinder the dying process. Living well does indeed contribute to dying well. Dying with Grace: a Conscious Commitment to the Dying Process is the story of Franks ability to let go of control, enjoy his last days, and move toward the unknown and unknowable. Though alert in mind and spirit, Franks body was as good as paralyzed. Yet he remained curious about walking through the valley of death, leaning into the process with dignity and grace. Experiencing pain and suffering, joy and love, he lived life immersed in the rhythm of nature, and died in that same rhythm. To the very end, he never lost consciousness. Dying with Grace is written as a reflective text for family members who are caring for dying relatives; for parish workers, nurses, and social workers assisting individuals and families during the dying process. The book sheds light on what it means to die as one lives and invites the reader to contemplate just how the dying experience may be spiritually transformative for both family and friends as well as for the one who is passing. The frightened, the skeptical, the devastated, the hope-filled, faith believers and non-believers alike can benefit from this book.

Book excerpt: An uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and powerfully thought- provoking real life stories, showing death as an integral part of life. Modern medical advances have resulted in death and dying becoming a taboo, which leaves us feeling isolated when the inescapability of death touches our lives. These touching observations of closeness to someone else who is dying, and personal accounts of near death experiences and after-death communication, illustrate how coming to terms with the inevitability of death is actually a life-affirming experience. These emotionally powerful and inspirational experiences address timeless questions and show how each of the people has come to understand that death teaches us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of our existence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ascended Master Djehuty (a.k.a. Thoth, St. Germain, and Merlin) explains soul, life, and death with the goal of showing you how to live life fully now and accept death for what it is. Many live in fear of death without fully knowing what that process entails and means to the soul or All That Is, of which they are part. Djehuty goes into depth first to explain what soul is and each human's relationship to his or her soul. Then he explores how each of us can learn to create a meaningful life through adding the wisdom of soul to our human perspective. Death is explored next including insights into how soul views death and how death functions in the context of its multilife journey, what happens at the moment of death, and what unfolds for each departed spirit following death. Finally, Djehuty instructs us about living consciously now so that we make peace with the fact of death and live fully while we are here. This material is a must-have for all living on Earth. Those who are curious about soul and how it experiences life and death and those looking to create more meaning and fulfillment in their lives now through spiritual evolution will be especially interested.
