Product description...

Making Friends with Death A True Story

Are you terrified of DEATH? Are you or a loved one facing terminal illness? Or perhaps you’ve already lost someone—and whether it was a long time in coming or a complete shock, it hurts.

We will all meet Death at our appointed time, and when that happens, we may see him as a fearful monster. But if we get to know him first, we’ll know how to handle his arrival. We may even discover that Death is not the fiend we imagined at all. Crossing the Caring Bridge offers a whole new perspective on Mr. Reaper that may prove to be a life-changing—or rather a DEATH-changing—experience!

“I’ve seen death come. I’ve seen people who’ve lost everything to hurricanes. While I’ve also seen close friends confront cancer and death, I’ve never been there. I can only imagine the cancer fight as a whitewater rafting trip on the fiercest rapids—but without a raft (never mind the paddles!). If I’m ever in that river, I’ll want a guide. Not just any guide. This guide. Jan Briddell Stevens has been there, seen it, felt it, wept over it, and more. Her engaging storytelling style entertains, informs, and challenges. But most importantly, because she is so authentic, it comforts. Nobody needs to navigate their rivers alone.”
—John Chickering, Storm Recovery Team Leader, UMCOR Early Response Team (Katrina, Irene, Sandy, Irma, Maria)
