Summary: Incredible View of Life and Death
Review: After receiving a copy as a Mother's Day gift, I have given 5 books as gifts; one for Father's Day, 4 as funeral memorials. Three others have borrowed and read my copy. One of them bought five more copies to give away. Another friend is recommending it to others who lost a close friend recently. Everyone loves it. This book is beautifully written and is a quick inspirational read for anyone, weather you have lost someone recently or not. It starts with Ms. Amatuzio as a young child learning about the death of a dear elderly neighbor, moves through her education as a doctor, and to her career as a medical examiner and forensic pathologist with inspirational stories of hers and others in her life. I tell friends, "don't read the last page until THE END" and "read it in private, you will cry with an overwhelming feeling of knowledge and understanding of life and afterlife."

Summary: Simply the best.
Review: I have been reading spiritually-oriented books for many years. Without preaching or pushing a perspective, Janis' stories offer a message that is credible because of her medical perspective and incredible because of the tremendous feelings of joy they generate. It's simply the best short book on this topic I have ever read.

Summary: Forever Ours not worth the read
Review: Nothing new here. Same old, same old. The stories oft told of "feeling a presence", innocuous happenings after the death of a person leading one to think they'd been "visited". Nothing that would persuade a thinking person that the soul survives the body.

Summary: Inspiring and Intriguing
Review: The author, a forensic pathologist, has collected a number of heartwarming stories strongly suggesting the survival of consciousness at death. These stories, coming from patients, associates, and friends, involve near-death experiences, death-bed visions, apparitions, and meaningful dreams. "Some of the things I have heard from their loved ones and some of my own experiences have caused me to believe that there is more to this life than meets the eye, and that gives me hope and helps me to do this job," Dr. Amatuzio writes.
Perhaps the most intriguing story is that of a man who had a near-death experience while in the recovery room following surgery. He recalled leaving his body through the top of his head and then watching doctors and nurses attempt resuscitation. He remembered being able to read all their thoughts, including those of a nurse who was upset that she had to stay and help because she had a date after work. At the same time, a patient next to him had a cardiac arrest and left his body. The two men began communicating by means of telepathy while observing the confusion below them. The two men ventured through the wall and outside, where they saw a dazzling light. After seeing his deceased mother, father, and aunt, he realized he had to go back. The other man continued on and did not reunite with his earthly body.
This book would make a great gift for a terminal patient or someone grieving the loss of a loved one. It is informative, interesting, intriguing, and inspiring.

Summary: A heartwarming, spiritual book
Review: This is an amazing, heartwarming, spiritual book written by a pathologist who has a big heart and truly cares for the families of people who have died under difficult or questionable circumstances and required her to perform an autopsy.
A wonderful series of stories is shared, much in the style of Chicken Soup for the Soul, each speaking for itself of the inspiration and hope brought by pre-death visions and bereavement apparitions.
This is a book that can transform your views and understandings about death and the hereafter. It is also a confirmation that there are physicians out there with big hearts.
