Mathe and all, Someone recommended that I read a book called Ninety Minutes in Heaven. She said it was amazing and helped her a lot through her grief. Much to my surprise and pleasure, it's available on Bookshare. It's about a man who got into a terrible auto accident in 1988 and was declared dead at the scene. He had no pulse and was horribly injured, yet ninety minutes later he awakened. He is a minister. The book talks about his after-death experience and his time in Heaven, as well as his story after he returns to his earthly body. It's very much from his Christian perspective, just to let you know. I am finding it very interesting and uplifting, in spite of the fact that I'm far from a conventional Christian. Just thought I would pass this on in case this book can be of comfort to anyone.

It does help...a lot. I am still raw, but I know that with time I will get better. I miss my mom horribly and I keep picking-up the phone to speak to her. It kills me, but I will learn. She is being cremated tomorrow, we are having a wake for all of her neighborhood friends on Wednesday and a mass on Saturday. We will release her ashes by the ocean afterwards. I hope my mom is happy where she is now. I hope she knows that we all miss her and love her. Thank you all for being my friends. I will be off the loops for a bit until I get myself together. I am sorry if I have not answered your personal letters, but I just can't right now. I have received them and have kept them all to remind me of all the support I have had from my friends. Hugs, Maithe
