Practicing Conscious Living and Dying: Stories of the Eternal Continuum of Consciousness, by Annamaria Hemmingway, is
an uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and
powerfully thought-provoking real life stories, showing death as an
integral part of life. These touching observations of closeness to
someone who is in the dying process, 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 evocative and
inspirational experiences address timeless questions and help expand
our limited awareness of the nature of consciousness. They show how
each of the individuals concerned 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.
