This is a must read book for anyone working in health care and anyone who is experiencing a health care crisis in their personal life. The book will touch your heart and bring tears to your eyes more often than the original Chicken Soup For The Soul. And it is better written than Chicken Soup.
The book shares stories of the courage patients have when they face the challenge of dying from disease. Each story will teach you about the strength of the human soul and leave you celebrating life. This is a book about the celebration and joy to be found in the experience of disease. The book illustrates that disease is actually a gift that teaches us many valuable lessons. We should not be afraid of the gifts we are given, but embrace them.
You will want to buy more than one copy so you can share the hope with those you love.

"Dying Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me: Stories of Healing and Wisdom Along Life's" is a unique, sensitive collection of life and death experiences encountered by physician William Hablitzel. In his view of death as the great teacher and enlightener, Dr. Hablitzel embraces the "uncomfortable duality" of being "both a physician defeated by death and the witness enriched by it (p. 10)." This luminous book of journeys with the dying has all the elements of the greatest teachings about life's meaning. Finding miracles in the everyday events, listening to the science, learning to overcome fear, embracing the unknown in death, and the miraculous process of human growth are all themes developed in these chapters and stories. Bridging the gap between science and faith, "Dying Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me" is inspirational literature of the finest grade -- and especially recommended for medical and health-care professionals, as well as non-specialist general readers, who must deal with end-of-life issues with respect to their patients or families.
