As much as we may not want to admit it, death is a part of life.
When Jesse Kalfel discovered that his mother wanted to be cremated
rather than buried, he queried some of his friends concerning how
they wanted their bodies handled after death. Many of them also
expressed an interest in cremation but had not given much thought
to what should be done with their ashes.
In "So You're Cremated ... Now What?" Kalfel provides many
commercially available scattering possibilities along with some of
his own creative suggestions. Would you like to distribute your
earthly remains by being packed into fireworks or have them shot
into space? How about placing your ashes inside a time capsule or
scattering them around exotic locales in the world? Would you like
your final remains turned into a real diamond or cast into a pink
flamingo lawn sculpture?
Read "So You're Cremated ... Now What? Over One Hundred
Creative Ways to Scatter Your Ashes and Other Useful Information"
and gain insights about a serious topic written in a lighthearted
manner. If you're considering cremation of your final remains, this
book presents various options and provides a way to discuss the
subject with loved ones.
If you have loved ones who are getting older, please make sure they
have their regular doctors checkups, it could save their lives.
Remember that things happen for a reason, and we don't always know
what that reason is.

This book is for anyone experiencing grief especially someone
who has lost a child. The manner in which your child died may be
the only difference you and I share. The grief we now feel after
the death of our dear cherished children puts us in a very distinct
group of people. Parents are not supposed to bury their children.
This isn't normal nor is it the cycle of life. I never knew it was
humanly possible to feel so much pain and sadness and yet have the
human body still survive.
In his mid-40s, Simon Boas was diagnosed with incurable cancer – it had been caught too late, and spread around his body. But he was determined to die as he had learned to live – optimistically, thinking the best of people, and prioritising what really matters in life.
In A Beginner’s Guide to Dying Simon considers and collates the things that have given him such a great sense of peace and contentment, and why dying at 46 really isn’t so bad.
And for that reason it’s also only partly about ‘dying’. It is mostly a hymn to the joy and preciousness of life, and why giving death a place can help all of us make even more of it.
Death is a part of life, but for a mother who has suffered the
death of a child, life can suddenly become unbearable. She finds
herself completely shattered-knocked to her knees and unable to get
up. Her pain is horrible, beyond anything she has ever felt or
experienced before. In "Mothers with Broken Hearts, " author Monica
Shipley tells the heartrending story of the suicide of her son,
Jeffrey, and the unexpected miracle that occurs as he is dying.
She shares the emotional free fall that his family experienced
as he lay motionless for five days following his suicide attempt.
She recounts the story of her life as she lives with the shadow of
Jeffrey's drug addiction. She talks honestly about his suicide,
God's miracle, and what she has done since his death to help
hundred of mothers who have also lost a child.
By sharing her story and reaching out to mothers experiencing
the greatest loss imaginable, Shipley hopes to bring some measure
of comfort to each of them.
