The Second Tree From the Corner ReviewThe Second Tree From The Corner, E. B. White; Harper & Brothers various copyrights, 1935-54) Somehow, this book didn't surface until this year, in a book store on Deer Isle, ME - decades after I had first learned about & became entranced with the writings of E. B. White.
TSC is a slim volume, but there's nothing shy or retiring about its impact, which is tremendous, if you will give it a chance.
When you see the "social media" zombies in the streets - staring vacantly at electronic gossip, oblivious to all else (& leery of actually meeting "friends" in person), remember that their grandparents were children at about the time that Mr. White wrote this, in the 1950s:
"Television was the ultimate peepshow... Children early formed the habit of gaining all their images at second hand, by looking at a screen; they grew up believing that anything perceived directly was vaguely fraudulent. Only what had been touched with electronics was valid & real."
And thus our gradual debasement began, which is now complete.

Where Do We Go from Here: Death, the Next Great Adventure ReviewThe Maxwell Winston Stone Series now numbers seven. Each stands alone; each is a gem. Author Ernie Carwile has honed in on his topic with depth and at the same time, weaves his subject with simplicity and authority. A welcome addition to the too many books that the reader has to wade through chapter after chapter until a nugget is discovered. In Where Do We Go From Here, Carwile opens a door that few want to talk about. Death happens. Acknowledging and having some type of plan for it eases the burden and pain for all.

Living Consciously, Dying Gracefully - A Journey with Cancer and Beyond ReviewAuthors Nancy Manahan and Becky Bohan weave the inspiring story of a woman's five-year experience with [...] cancer. We are given the ending in the title of the book, Living Consciously, Dying Gracefully: A Journey With Cancer and Beyond but the essence of the narrative is more about the celebration of a life well-lived in every way.
I did not want to read this book. We may all have a loved one who has traveled this frightening journey in some way. Perhaps it is our own path. My own sister is now a seven-year [...] cancer survivor, and I certainly did not want to relive those helpless years when my family was consumed in grief and on an emotional roller coaster, living each day in fear for the next.
But this is the story of a very different model of one woman's choice to "deal with life's gifts and life's uncertainties as they have been thrust upon me." From her initial journal entry on the first page, Diane Manahan, a nurse, a teacher, and sister-in-law to Nancy Manahan, invites us to experience the life she tried to live in "an out-loud way."
The book is in four parts:
-- This Long Journey with Cancer as My Companion
-- A Graceful Death
-- Living On. The authors reference Diane's own journals, interviews with her family and friends, as well as their own personal relationship with her.
-- The last section, Guidebook: Lessons from Diane on dealing with serious illness or death, contains practical suggestions for individuals, caregivers, and anyone seeking a loving and spiritual experience in "living consciously and dying gracefully."
This is an unforgettable, deeply touching and honestly written book and I highly recommend it. It's not about fearing death--it's about embracing life.
Armchair Interviews says: It is a difficult journey that we might all face one day. Learning how others handle such situations is helpful.Living Consciously, Dying Gracefully - A Journey with Cancer and Beyond OverviewWhen diagnosed with breast cancer, Diane Manahan decided to share her entire journey openly. A professor of nursing, married to a doctor trained in both conventional and holistic medicine, Diane integrated complementary therapies with orthodox cancer treatments. She enjoyed a full, vibrant life for the next five and a half years. This inspiring story describes her cancer years and extraordinary death at home, the care of her body by loved ones, and the family s powerful experience at the crematorium. The book ends with a glimpse of Diane s ongoing journey as friends tell of comforting lessons offered by her enduring spirit. A supplemental guidebook offers practical suggestions for dealing with a life-threatening illness or death.

Thin Places: Where Faith Is Affirmed And Hope Dwells ReviewA thought pops into your head seemingly from nowhere and you wonder, "Could this be a thought from God or is my deceased father sending me a message?" You get goose bumps at the majesty of a sunset. A stranger appears with a message that profoundly changes how you think about a major life decision. Have you had a brush with God?
Mary Treacy O'Keefe validates your suspicions in, Thin Places: Where Faith is Affirmed and Hope Dwells, combining her personal and professional experiences coping with illness and death. Mary believes these thoughts, occurrences and feelings "from nowhere," these "ah ha" moments, are real and in line with the way God communicates with us, "constantly sending messages of guidance, inspiration, comfort, love and hope."
These experiences are thin-place moments, "those times where we feel a sudden connection with God and signs of the divine become real." They may come in a myriad of ways, an intuitive feeling, a healing touch, a coincidence or a ritual. These brief glimpses give us hope for something "wondrous" beyond earthly life.
Written first for her siblings, Thin Places is an intensely personal testimony of daily practicing one's faith. As such it is authentic, sacred and irrefutable. Reading Mary's account of events surrounding her parents' deaths (three months apart), memories will surface that you may now recognize as thin-place moments. You might even be empowered to believe your own experiences are real and relatable to others. Without a doubt you will be moved by Mary's "truth" told with love so achingly tender that one cannot help but want the same kind of grace, understanding and courage when faced with similar circumstances.
Mary's Catholic foundation and being Irish means the reader gets to experience both religion and cultural gems. However you do not have to be Catholic or Irish to gain great value and insight.
Mary is co-founder and executive director of Well Within, a non-profit holistic wellness center in West St. Paul, Minnesota, where she provides spiritual direction and workshops.
Armchair Interviews says: Slow down, listen to the voice within, actually see the world around you, and wait for Thin Place moments in your life.Thin Places: Where Faith Is Affirmed And Hope Dwells OverviewBill and Terry Treacy died three months apart, after fifty years of marriage and a lifetime of faith. Devastated by this loss, their ten children found comfort in inexplicable signs assuring them that their parents were at peace, reunited in heaven, and yet still present in the lives of those who grieved for them. In Thin Places: Where Faith Is Affirmed and Hope Dwells, Mary Treacy O'Keefe describes such signs as thin places -- sudden realizations of that ethereal veil between what we know of earth and what we believe of heaven. In sharing her family's story (and those of many others), she shows how thin places are present in ordinary places at ordinary times -- and how such moments of grace reveal Divine loving messages of faith and hope in our daily lives.

This lovely story will leave the reader with a cozy, warm feeling. But beware, tears will be shed along the way. Ms. Dillman's writing style is exceptional, her descriptive eloquently delivered, the characters portrayed in such a way that the reader will quickly identify with and come to love them. With plenty of smiles to counter the tears, at its core is a heartwarming love story to lift the spirit and brighten the day. I highly recommend this wonderful book.

Rudi's Pond ReviewRudi's Pond is a wonderful story about how a little girl deals with the illness and death of her friend. The illustrations are magnificent. This book is a wonderful tool for teachers who might have a terminally ill student or a sudden death in their classroom. It also will help to enlightened children on the mature subject of dying.
