On Living door Kerry Egan
This book is a great read to remind oneself about what really is important in life. I was concerned that reading stories of the dying by a hospice chaplain would be very gruesome and hard to read. It really was not. It was a combination of joys and sorrows, and how life can pass on into death with dignity. I think it is a great story for all ages. There is so much philosophical significance that is shared by the former patients that help us all get a better grasp of what is really important in life and how to let go when it is time. I could easily read this book again at a later time, and be reminded of what life versus death really means. The author did an excellent job of portraying the view of a hospice chaplain.… (meer)
Author reads it, and I really liked her voice and presentation. Many of her stories and observations were thought provoking and touching. Probably should have know that a book by a chaplain would be too religious/spiritual for my taste :), but having experienced many deaths of loved ones I was curious about this book.
A wonderful, well thought out book about learning to live from the dying. Kerry Egan is a thoughtful person and a good storyteller. I really enjoyed curling up with this book and pondering its helpful sentiments. Nice short pieces, connected, but allowing for stopping and considering. I think this would make a great book club book.
I really enjoyed this book. Egan is so open with what she was feeling during her pilgrimage, and the effect it had on her. She describes her grief in language and style that made it easy to share her grief with her (like it or not!). And to add the spiritual dimension to all of this, and for her to show her growing knowledge of God -- that was a real blessing.
