Talking with Angel about Illness, Death and Survival - Paperback

by Evelyn Elsaesser (Author)

'Not only a literary treasure but a vitally important book for young people, families, practitioners and professionals.' Dr Donna Maria Thomas, Senior Research Fellow, University of Central Lancashire, and author of Children's Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World Talking with Angel about Illness, Death and Survival is the moving story of a young girl battling leukaemia. She eventually realizes that she is going to die and receives hope and comfort through nightly conversations with her favourite doll, Angel, who helps her embrace a new perspective on dying and the possibility that consciousness may survive after death. Her fear of death is ultimately lifted by her new-found spiritual wisdom and by the account of a near-death experience told to her by a young companion, as well as by a deathbed vision she has of her deceased grand-mother.
