Beyond Knowing: Mysteries and Messages of Death and Life from a Forensic Pathologist (Hardcover)

In Forever Ours, forensic pathologist Janis Amatuzio described amazing connections and experiences between the dying and their loved ones. Here, she shows that these are life-changing moments for the living, making time on earth more satisfying and helping them focus on the important things in life. The stories in Beyond Knowing tell of a woman who hears her husbands song on the radio and experiences the sensation of dancing with him again; a sick dog who helped an elderly grandmother recover from a hip fracture and who found a way to sleep beside her one last time; monarch butterflies who attend the funeral of a young girl who loved them; the man who meets his kidney donor and sends a message to the family; and many other profound occurrences. The stories are at once personal and universal, offering guidance for living and loving, and illustrating the importance of connecting with loved ones every day.
