Episode description
My mom asked me to write this book while she was on her deathbed. It is a responsibility that I could not ignore. I think no one could. So, I’m passing this along not only to fulfill that obligation, but also to honor the life she led, the lessons she taught me, and the beautiful end-of-life visions she had during her last few days.
This book is my best attempt at relaying my mom’s end-of-life experiences which she urged me to pass along, in addition to some of my perspective on those visions based on my own interpretations.
It is my story of caring for my mom as she passed away, her powerful and compelling insights as she approached death, and my surprising spiritual journey with her since then.
