Happy Endings: Uplifting End of Life Stories

Happy Endings is a collection of stories about people who concluded their lives in a unique or uplifting way. This is not to say that their narratives-generously shared with the author-by family and caregivers and hospice friends- are without pain and sorrow. Yet, the final stage of life holds remarkable possibilities to strengthen bonds between loved ones and confirm our faith in the hereafter.

An elderly woman prepares a magnificent deathbed of rose petals from bouquets in her home...a dying boy climbs aboard a pony only he and his mother can see...a delirious man hands his distraught daughter a piece of tissue in the perfect likeness of an angel

Dying is the natural conclusion to life, and these 40 stories invite you to re-examine your own perception of death. Most of all, they remind us that, while our time here on earth is temporary, our existence is not.
