IN PRAISE OF "Dr. Michaelson provides a light-hearted and yet most compassionate look into the uncomfortable and largely private practices surrounding death, funerals, bereavement, the grief process, and recovery from loss. Her experiences from her family's funeral home and, later, as a trained psychotherapist provide a very readable and informative resource for professionals, their spouses, students, and those dealing with or anticipating a death, as well as being of interest to the general reader." ?Pastor Bert Burwell, A.i.M., Salem Lutheran Church, ELCA "Most of us have experienced the anxieties surrounding death and have questions about the timeframe between death and burial. This book contains anecdotal gems of information and insights that will be helpful to many readers. Although this is, in itself, valuable, there is much more. It is a firsthand account of the life of a funeral director and his family, living out their commitment to serving people at the time of greatest human vulnerability. This shines through with great clarity. The stories that the children relate also give a picture of the humor and warmth that was such a vital part of this family and became, at times, a healing balm." ?Dr. O. J. ?Chris? Christensen, Professor Emerita, Division of Counseling and Psychology, The University of South Dakota "The writer was able to capture the connectedness of life and death. The vignettes demonstrate how career is a life's course and how a family living and loving in a funeral home learns reverence for the dead and grows in greater service for the living. The facts surrounding the work of the funeral director and the realities experienced by the family members living in the funeral home blend in ways that provide a backdrop of love and caring for humanity." ?Dr. Joan T. England, Professor Emerita, Division of Counseling and Psychology, The University of South Dakota
