Madlyn Fafard,: Erasing Death...my book review for you

music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

Erasing Death...my book review for you

Erasing Death: The Science That Is Rewriting the Boundaries Between Life and Death (Hardcover)
With great excitement I bought this book, and found that it was more about resuscitation than the subject of death, and what happens during the dying process and what we call death itself. I have been reading everything I could on this subject since my Dad died,( many many years) because I was only 16, and it was traumatic at that age to lose my young father. If I was just beginning to read about the miracle of death, I would have probably been more excited with the book, but because I read this book from a more experienced point of view, I was disappointed that more information had not been gathered. I wonder, about what happens to the dying person just before death, just before they lose their ability to communicate. Maybe a study of people who have been with the dying would add to the little bit of information that is garnered in the hospitals. It is amazing what people say on their death beds, if you ask!
