End of Life Stories


Book Description

End of Life Stories: Tips and Tools for the Soul’s Journey Home is an extraordinary book designed to ease people’s suffering in the face of death. Here, anxious loved ones of individuals who are at the end of their lives will find comfort, wisdom and acceptance through the stories of someone who has borne repeated witness to this often agonizing scene. There aren’t many things more terrifying than having to stare down the inevitability of death. More than fear, though, is the tangle of other emotions that can crowd this painful phase: guilt, anger, excruciating despair. Author Cindy Bertrand Larson, who has long worked in palliative care, seeks to mitigate these complex feelings for those who are suffering them, to deliver a sense of peace and fulfillment, and to help these troubled souls find resolution with dangling questions and unresolved issues. Though different cultures have different approaches to dying and death, there are some universal truths around achieving a so-called “good death.” In these instances, these people’s transcendence to another place made them better. And those who traveled with them on their sacred journey are similarly blessed with the same sense of enlightenment and peace. Here is a truly special book that reminds us that we can choose to let death conquer and consume us, or we can choose to let death uplift us, to allow it to teach and transform us, to make us more compassionate souls.

That’S Life


Book Description

Thats Life is a series of entertaining essays offering a wealth of personal observations and prejudiced views on a wide range of subjects. Though written as a legacy to benefit grandchildren, it is derived from a lifetime of experience from which others may also profit. The essay on names, for example, warns of parental blunders like naming children Tonsillitis and Meningitis. Another discussion considers obesity and suggests an effective diet by eating wisely at McDonalds, while the essay on pets explains why emotional support animals may soon be sitting next to you in the concert hall. Other essays reveal why most people hate their jobs, the epidemic of dishonesty among advertisers and politicians, and the hilarious world of humor. Several essays illustrate the importance of art, health, and romance, including the emotional benefits of daily hugs and kisses. Anger, cruelty, and fear are considered, with suggestions for dealing with each. Further discussions consider sex, drinking, and death, including the bewildering problems suicide bombers face dealing with seventy-two virgins. From sports, fashion, and travel, to music, food, and fellowship, every important topic is examined and explained. There seems no more valuable an asset one can offer grandchildren than the wisdom that comes with advancing years. Thus, Thats Life confronts everyday challenges we all face, providing responses to the most common of lifes frustrations.

The New Motel


Book Description

The opening of a new motel in rural Oklahoma coincides with the disappearance of a local girl. An offhanded joke becomes a rumor and permanently links the event with the motel's reputation. The discovery of several bodies and one survivor in an abandoned bomb shelter proves to be a full-time challenge to the obnoxious new sheriff and his deputies. Their search for the killer(s) takes them across the state and rustles up a host of suspects, who eventually reunite in an unusual and unexpected way. The scope of the crimes grows and spreads, until the perpetrators run out of resources, both human and otherwise, for they are all eventually consumed. Forensics, sporadic witness accounts, good police work, hunches, and mistakes by the "untouchable" evildoer(s) eventually pile up to bring a violent end to one of the perps and the incarceration of...the rest. What begins as a father's disappointment snowballs into a life that bends rules, family loyalties, and genders as the struggle to please a parent morphs into a deviant and deadly lifestyle.
