Among them: finding a photo in her father’s wallet of his deceased first wife, an unseen family member whose presence helped shaped her childhood. Becker, an Interfaith minister, shares how her studies of Buddhism, indigenous traditions, and other wisdom teachings, as well as her work with hospice patients, has helped her develop a positive attitude towards death that makes life all the more precious.Amazon link to purchase HeartwoodLearn more about your ad choices.
