Love After Life first describes their relationship and the situation William found himself in after Irene passed away, then goes directly into what he calls "the process," a short list of easy affirmation-style techniques. He credits this process - along with Irene's help from the other side and a few supportive books on the afterlife - with moving him through a rather dramatic transformation from broken and despairing to a having that real sense, once again, of being whole and fulfilled with his soul-mate."For those of us who cannot move on from a relationship but rather must move forward with them, somehow, after they die, perhaps this book can help," Murray says. "Letting go of pain in this situation can be very scary when you feel it's your only connection to the person that matters the most to you, the person that makes you feel whole and complete. Even while it was destroying me, I felt like that pain was my connection to her, my tribute to our love, and the idea of letting it go felt worse than having it."The only way I was able to gradually move past the grief was to also gradually become aware of her presence and her efforts to reconnect with me. As this connection grew, my grief and my reasons for wanting to hold on to that pain slowly dissipated. What has now actually come to pass from the process I describe in Love After Life, just seven months after she crossed over, is something I could not believe possible in my time of grief."At best, I had hoped to maybe achieve a manageable pain I could live through for the rest of my life. I never expected to achieve a state of joy, happiness and, in some ways, an even better, more intimate relationship with my wife. We accomplished this without the use of any mediums or any daunting activities like out-of-body or near death experiences - just reading, keeping a journal, and faithfully employing the affirmation and intention techniques described in the book."This is not a 'fake it until you make it' system," Murray explains. "This is a process of tuning out of your grief frequency/vibration and tuning in to the frequency/vibration of your loved one on the other side. It is my view that this process moves you away from the pain state and back into the loving and joyful state you share with your loved one, making real contact and communication between the two of you easier, more natural and more frequent."

“Prose’s book is a stunning achievement. . . . Now Anne Frank stands before us. . . a figure who will live not only in history but also in the literature she aspired to create.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune In June, 1942, Anne Frank received a diary for her thirteenth birthday, just weeks before she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic. For two years, she described life in hiding in vivid, unforgettable detail and grappled with the unfolding events of World War II. Before the attic was raided in August, 1944, Anne Frank furiously revised and edited her work, crafting a piece of literature that she hoped would be read by the public after the war. And read it has been. In Anne Frank, bestselling author Francine Prose deftly parses the artistry, ambition, and enduring influence of Anne Frank’s beloved classic, The Diary of a Young Girl. She investigates the diary’s unique afterlife: the obstacles and criticism Otto Frank faced in publishing his daughter’s words; the controversy surrounding the diary’s Broadway and film adaptations, and the social mores of the 1950s that reduced it to a tale of adolescent angst and love; the conspiracy theories that have cried fraud, and the scientific analysis that proved them wrong. Finally, having assigned the book to her own students, Prose considers the rewards and challenges of teaching one of the world’s most read, and banned, books. How has the life and death of one girl become emblematic of the lives and deaths of so many, and why do her words continue to inspire? Approved by both the Anne Frank House Foundation in Amsterdam and the Anne Frank-Fonds in Basel, run by the Frank family, Anne Frank unravels the fascinating story of a memoir that has become one of the most compelling, intimate, and important documents of modern history.

Deepak Chopra turns to the most profound mystery confronting humankind: What happens after we die? By marrying science and wisdom, Chopra builds his case for afterlife, in which one's most essential self uses the end of life to "pass over" into the next lifetime.

For Dante and Petrarch, posthumous love was a powerful conviction. Like many of their contemporaries, both poets envisioned their encounters with their beloved in heaven—Dante with Beatrice, Petrarch with Laura. But as Ramie Targoff reveals in this elegant study, English love poetry of the Renaissance brought a startling reversal of this tradition: human love became definitively mortal. Exploring the boundaries that Renaissance English poets drew between earthly and heavenly existence, Targoff seeks to understand this shift and its consequences for English poetry. Targoff shows that medieval notions of the somewhat flexible boundaries between love in this world and in the next were hardened by Protestant reformers, who envisioned a total break between the two. Tracing the narrative of this rupture, she focuses on central episodes in poetic history in which poets developed rich and compelling compensations for the lack of posthumous love—from Thomas Wyatt’s translations of Petrarch’s love sonnets and the Elizabethan sonnet series of Shakespeare and Spencer to the carpe diem poems of the seventeenth century. Targoff’s centerpiece is Romeo and Juliet, where she considers how Shakespeare’s reworking of the Italian story stripped away any expectation that the doomed teenagers would reunite in heaven. Casting new light on these familiar works of poetry and drama, this book ultimately demonstrates that the negation of posthumous love brought forth a new mode of poetics that derived its emotional and aesthetic power from its insistence upon love’s mortal limits.
