After hearing Doctor Amatuzio tell a couple of the Real-Life Stories on a very famous radio talk show this month, I was very interested in reading the book for the rest of the stories. I was not disappointed when I ripped open the package and randomly opened the book. I suggest that YOU start reading from the beginning as the stories progress from the beginning of her medical career.

The stories will warm your heart, erase your doubts and leave you with a feeling of joy and relief. She wrote the book as eloquently as she had verbalized them. You would swear she was sitting in the same room with you as you read.

My favorite (if I were forced to pick one), is "I KNOW THE SECRET". As sad as this story starts, it will leave you with more than a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye.

Having lost a loved one in the recent past, this book has helped me a great deal in coping. I hope it will help you too. If ever a book was published from the heart, FOR the heart, it is this one.

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.

I have been reading books on afterlife communications for several years now - and I have yet to tire of the wonderful stories showing that our love continues even after death.

This particular book is written by a coroner, and in it she shares the stories that were told to her by her patients (before she became a coroner, she worked as a doctor in a hospital), as well as by the loved ones of those she performed autopsies on.

Each chapter includes 1 such story, and they are relatively short - so, even if you don't have much time to read, you can easily finish a chapter in a few minutes.

Dr. Amatuzio also shows how these stories have impacted her life - especially in remembering the importance of the "little things". Just by reading these accounts, I found myself being impacted in the same way. It's amazing just how quickly we forget the importance of the "small stuff" as we go through our daily routines!

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in afterlife communications, psychic phenomena &/or spirituality.

How many times have you wondered what if? Dr Amatuzio has truly given the world a gift in this book. It reads quickly and leaves you asking for more. If you are in the healing professions you must read this book. If you have ever lost a loved one you must read this book. If only we could all open our eyes to what is happening around us the way Dr. Amatuzio describes in this book, the world would truly be a kinder gentler place!

Tremendous. This book has a lot of interesting stories that make the reader think. After some thought I would recommend this book to anyone that is experiencing a loss of someone close to them. It will make the loss no less easier but perhaps better understood.You can buy the book now for at some point you will need it or someone you know will need it.Best Regards...

Very readable and believable; such wonderful, well-written stories! I can't decide who I want to loan this book to first--anyone who has lost a loved one, will lose a loved oned, or will die themselves, will benefit from this. Our culture is so much in denial of death--the word itself conjures up a black fear for many. We can all benefit from a new view of death as rebirth, and this book is evidence of that. Thank you, Dr. Amatuzio. By writing this book you are bringing much needed hope.

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."

This was a well written, thought provoking book. I enjoyed it immensely! I am not always a "believer", but the book is a great read. The nature of the stories in the book are warm and heartfelt. It definitely leaves the reader with plenty good feelings.

I have given several copies as gifts.

Also if you are fimilar with Minnesota there are plenty of good local references in the book.

This book is a definite must read and have for anyone that has lost a loved one in their life. It helped me and my family get through a few of the hardest times in our lives. After reading this thought provoking book twice I feel comforted in the loss of my grandparents. This book is easy reading, the first time I read it was when I was 17 years old and now agian at 21! I love how describtive the author is and I know what a great caring, compassionate, doctor she is through her writings and through personal expirence!

This book is easy reading and short chapters. Every chapter is a different "true" story of experiences with the afterlife. We use it for HOSPICE patients and I have had three copies already. WONDERFUL BOOK !!!!!!!
