The Wheel of Life

Rose Donovan

“I noticed how patients, even the angriest of them, relaxed moments before death. Others appeared to have extremely vivid experiences with deceased loved ones as they neared death themselves, talking with people I could not see. In virtually every case death was preceded by a peculiar serenity”

“If we view ALL living things as a gift from God, created for our pleasure and enjoyment, to love and respect, to treasure and to guard for our next generations, and look after our own self with the same loving care - the future will be something NOT TO BE FEARED, but treasured.”

“Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you have lived. Death is but a transition from this life to another existence where there is no more pain and anguish. Everything is bearable where there is love. My wish is that you try to give more people more love. The only thing that lives forever is love.”
