"Communication experts offer examples and expertise about end-of-life conversations to inspire, teach, and encourage the reader to have their own and to grow from them.
Death is one thing we cannot control. We will all face the death of a loved one. And many, if not most, people in our culture will be hesitant and unprepared to say goodbye.
The Good Goodbye is meant to help those who must say goodbye to a loved one who is dying. In it, readers will discover how culture affects final conversations, and that often the last interactions may not consist of words but gestures and expressions. They will find examples from real people interviewed over many years, with themes that include love, everyday talk, taking care of business, identity messages, spiritual messages, and healing difficult relationships.
Readers will learn about the positive outcomes of final conversations, both from the advice of children and the detailed stories of adults who were changed profoundly in their attitudes and life paths. They will also see that many people have experienced communication with their loved one after that loved one has passed. Finally, readers will discover how others have overcome negativity to engage in the good goodbye, and how they can improve their own preparedness to have final conversations.
Anyone who faces the death of a loved one-and that will be all of us-can gain from reading this book. We have found that hospice workers, nurses, caregivers, assisted-living personnel, spiritual advisors, and grief groups are especially interested. But anyone who is walking the path with someone close who is dying will seek this information and enjoy the inspiration.
The main message: Be there. Listen. Love. Be grateful for the opportunity to grow."
"The universe isn’t delivering? Then you can’t afford to miss this book!
It’s all about synchronicity—the secret ingredient for advanced and accelerated manifestation! Never heard of synchronicity? Keep reading!
Synchronicity is the alignment of meaningful coincidences—a series of seemingly random events that, at first glance, appear unrelated but propel you straight toward your goals. It’s the frequency of meaningful chance, serendipitous alignments, and that magical touch of luck that makes even the wildest dreams come true.
This isn’t about “sending wishes to the universe,” “plastering on a permanent grin,” or chanting “I can achieve anything” in the mirror. It’s about reprogramming your inner identity. Whether consciously directed or unconsciously shaped, your inner self-image determines your outer reality.
This book is your ticket to the frequency of synchronicity. With a straightforward, no-nonsense guide, it leads you step by step through the synchronization process. Get ready for maximum acceleration, incredible coincidences, and dramatic twists. You can spend years waiting for your dreams to come true—or you can take this shortcut and make a quantum leap into your ideal reality."
"Portraits of generations of family members line a great hall in the lavish home of the Pentlands; a wealthy, upper-class family who were among the first settlers in the fictional town of Durham, New England. Members of the family desperately try to keep their prestigious reputation alive while the world around them is changing.

Sabine Callendar, a Pentland cousin, returns to her home after a twenty-year absence to introduce her daughter at a debutante ball held on the estate. Society expects a broken-down old maid after hearing of her scandalous divorce, which is all the more delicious for Sabine as she proves to be a beautiful, confident, successful woman upon her reintroduction to her hometown. Full of mischief, Sabine is the impetus behind the drama that unfolds for Olivia, while secrets about the Pentlands are revealed and questions about all of their futures are as thick as the mist in the estate’s early autumn air.
This classic novel by Louis Bromfield was published in 1926 and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1927. His perspective of the social norms of his day is as relevant in today’s world as it was then, and his rich language shines just as bright."
"You are not your thoughts! Learn how to overcome negative thinking habits and self-doubt so you can experience more confidence, freedom, and peace of mind.
When you understand how your mind works, unhelpful and noisy thoughts move to the background, and your awareness shifts to something quieter and deeper. This is true peace of mind. And it's not some unattainable goal reserved for the most enlightened. Anyone can experience it.
From life coach and psychologist Amy Johnson, this user-friendly guide offers a no-willpower approach informed by ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience to help you change your negative thinking habits, make peace with your inner critic, and experience more self-confidence and freedom than you ever thought possible.
Our minds are hardwired to expect the worst. They love to replay the past and predict the future. They have strong opinions that feel solid and meaningful, but are always changing and contradicting themselves. When we think our thoughts define who we are, we suffer. But when we see the truth—and we glimpse the space that lies beyond those self-created stories—we suffer far less. This book will help you glimpse that truth, and use it to find peace."

"Being a mind runner isn’t easy, but catching criminals is all that matters to Jane Spears. Though her job may be gruesome, she’s not willing to stop just yet. And even as she admires the ring from her fiancé, she has no intention of letting a wedding sidetrack her work—not when she’s about to delve into the darkest mind she’s ever encountered.
As she starts to explore the twisted ruins of a sociopath’s psyche, Jane realizes she may have finally met her match. She knew this case would be a challenge, but she didn’t expect to get caught in a mind-bending nightmare. Because this irredeemable murderer seems to know something about Jane that even she doesn’t—something unspeakable lurking in her past. Can she escape the killer’s derangement unscathed and ready to walk down the aisle?"
"Not even the warning label on the experimental project could have prepared Jane Spears for the nightmare she would walk into when the Ashley Potter case landed in her lap. Deep inside the victim’s mind, Jane finds clues hinting at the worst crimes she has ever come upon. But the bread crumbs don’t lead anywhere, and in the waking light Jane discovers nothing is as she believed. The conspiracy goes deeper than she can reveal, and the crimes are too hideous to leave unsolved. Can she stop it all in time, or will she be sucked in—trapped by the deranged mastermind?"
