Who Said You Could Die? by Becky Chapman Bush

"Here is a collection of intimate, personal stories that combine milestone experiences, well-observed human interaction, and intense emotion. They impart Wisdom. Themes around death and dying, while common to us all, can be weighty - thus, the benefit received from this conversation is immeasurable. I was blessed over and over 'with comfort' from the message that - love is healing and shared grief is less weighty."
~Reverend Frances G. Bagdasarian, RN, B.S., Interfaith Minister

"This is a beautiful book, a gigantic piece of healing work, and a great gift and help to others on their journey of healing. It gives the reader new courage and yes, even peace of heart, to face grief and loss knowing that it is a part of life as wwell as a path to a deeper, richer life. In so many ways, Becky's story is my story, and my story is hers. As a hospital chaplain, a minister, and a person, I have accompanied people and beloved pets at their moments of death, and I have witnessed the miracle of seeing their life force leave their body. Becky's stories are searingly honest. Her loved ones, both human and animal, have become my family and friends in reading about them. Thank you, Becky."

"This book is a valuable account of one person's experience with the labors of death and dying, both from the perspective of care-giver and loved one. I learned that the process is profound, and that grieving is essential to healing. Particularly now that our life spans can be extended beyond anything imaginable or reasonable this is a very important story."
~Karen Chapman, B.A., Voice Teacher

"My mother is a great story teller, but since her stroke, I am sorry that she has been unable to recount more family adventures."
