Courage and Grace : Help in the Dying Process

Your author has written this story with the hope that, maybe, as you near the end of your very short journey called "life," this book may become a real treasure to you, a sort of best friend, to help you through your difficult times.

May this book become like a golden key, which will come, from time-to-time, and unlock those heavy doors that seem to lock us into our very own internal prison cell.

Perhaps you are familiar with the horrible names of this real-life, internal, prison cell that has entombed so many with its iron bars. As we walk by it, we see the horrible names of "Fear, "Doubt," "Discouragement," "Depression," and "Disappointment" inscribed on its walls.

The primary purpose of this story is to provide the readers with a way, a real, legitimate way, to keep themselves out of this horrific cell that has become the final resting place for so many millions of people.
