Raymond Bernard

Dear friends,

My name is Raymond Bernard, author of Being Alive and Honoring Death, Ętre Vivant et Honorer la Mort, Vivir y Honrar la Muerte.

December 25th is my moment of truth: the death of the love of my life, Sylvie. There is a "Raymond" before and after that date. This moment prompted me to ask: "Raymond, if there were your last twenty four hours on eart, what would you do with them ?"

This book is not a biography. It's a profound introspection on the transition frome Death to Life admidst our daily grief, loss, sadness, anger, and fear.

What does "Being Alive" mean, and most importantly, HOW do we fully embrace and welcome our emotions ?

Countless people around the world are directly or indirectly touched by death, trauma, illness, wounds because of wars, mass killing, shool shootings, bullying , and more. What about fear of terrorism, racism, pandemic, Gaza crisis ?

I live this book everyday. It invites me to recognize, in a practical way, how to fully and completely welcome emotions that make me fell Alive and Human. I invite you to live this book with me in your daily life.

From my heart with profound affection,

Raymond
