Her story is an adventure of the heart—powerful, controversial, inspirational—a fitting legacy of a powerful life.

Living and aging

The narration was lovely. I read Death and Dying by Ross, when I was very young. Now I'm 56 and my mother is 97. It seemed a good idea to listen to the expert as mother and I age. Many of life's big delimas have simple answers. I enjoyed this book and recommend it.

Inspiring

A life of service to others, a reminded that we can always do more. Love is the way.

Essential knowledge for any physician

Just like any other subject to physician's education, it is a basic tool for the medical practice in order to deliver a integral, more effective therapy.

Beautiful, insightful, useful

A must read for anyone who has dealed with loss, (we all have). Profound and illuminating... Full of hope and love.

Exceptional

Elisabeth was a gift to our world. Her message of love is transforming. Her story is a testament we can get through grief.
