Customer Reviews

a excellent guide to helping your loved one and/or yourself

With profound compassion and wonderful insight, Mr. Kessler teaches the livng and the dying how a person can make this transition as conscious and healing an experience as possible....I used this book with the recent passing of my own father and found it to be the greatest tool I had in helping my father as well as our whole family....what a blessing this man's work is....easy to read, easy to follow and very genuine and loving...Important conversations that before filled me with dread, I found flowed easily and now, I am so grateful that I had them.
