  <default_description>In this collection of inspirational essays, internationally known author Dr. Elisabeth K&#252;bler-Ross draws on her in-depth research of more than 20,000 people who had near-death experiences, revealing the afterlife as a return to wholeness of spirit. With frank and compassionate advice for those dealing with terminal illness or the death of a loved one, ON LIFE AFTER DEATH offers a compelling message of hope to the living, so that they may grow stronger from tragedy and live life to the fullest.</default_description>

Sadly, some of the essays overlap and tell the same stories and so it tends to get a little repetitive, which frustrated me. This is why I gave it 3 stars and not 4.]]></body>
