“David Kessler writes of a world that is rarely talked about, much
less examined with such sensitivity. His stories reveal dimensions
of the death experience that are anything but depressing, and at
times absolutely joyful. In a book filled with intriguing and
inspirational tales, Kessler makes a compelling argument that death
is not the end.”
— Marianne Williamson, the New York Times best-selling author of
The Age of Miracles and A Course in Weight Loss
“I so remember David Kessler in the old days of The Hayride, a
support group I started in West Hollywood. He and his work were so
vital and so heartwarming to our group, who shared those
frightening moments of crises in the early days of the AIDS
epidemic. His very presence with those approaching death was like
being enveloped in a safe, cozy space. No harm could come to you if
David was around. In fact, I recently asked him to be there when it
is my time to go. This book shares David’s wisdom and his love, and
helps all of us who enter unknown waters.”
— Louise Hay, the New York Times best-selling author of You Can
Heal Your Life
