Want to Read $ 7.99"This is the beauty and the tragedy of my father's life and death. For him, for me, for most of us at the time, for better and for worse, death is life's mirror."-Steve Leder, The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift
"Understanding death - its rituals, its lessons, its gift to reshape love through memory, its grief, its powerful reminder that it is not what but who we have that matters - gives our lives exquisite meaning."-Steve Leder, The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift
"It is the impermanence of the body that has convinced me of the eternality of the soul. Physics tells us that energy never dies, it merely assumes a different form. I never feel this more deeply than when gazing upon a dead body, a vessel emptied of its life force, a force that must surely now exist elsewhere."-Steve Leder, The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift
"When you show people a picture of a circle with a small wedge cut out of it, their eyes first go to the missing piece every time. It is easy among the doctors, the needles, and the tubes to lose sight of the beauty that was. Despite our pain, our fear, and our very real loses, we would do well to think about our many past blessing with our loved one who is now diminished. There is so much more to who we were and who we are than just the missing piece."-Steve Leder, The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift
