Forensic pathologist Janis Amatuzio first began recording the stories told to her by patients, police officers, and other doctors because she felt that no one spoke for the dead. She believed that the real experience of death — the spiritual and otherworldly experiences of those near death and their loved ones — was ignored by medical professionals, who thought of death as simply the cessation of breath. She knew there was more, and determined to record it — from the first experience of a patient in her care dying, to the miraculous “appearances” of loved ones after death — knowing that it could bring comfort to anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one or who has tried to make sense of the finality of death. Written by a scientist in simple, nonjudgmental language, Forever Ours explores a reassuring world beyond the limits of the physical.
