Die Laughing! Lighthearted views of a grave situation.

  I never thought starting any sentence with "Death is" would be funny, but there you go...turns out it is.  When I was diagnosed with cancer, shortly after my mom had just died from it, one can't exactly escape thoughts, or conversations that deal with that word...death.  I'm glad Steve wrote the book, it makes me able to laugh at the gorilla in the room, and helps others around me to actually broach the subject, without having to cry. 

Die Laughing, Lighthearted Views of a Grave Situation was written by my husband, Steve Mickle so even if I hadn't already found it funny, that would have to make it a darn good thing 

You can see some samples of this book at www.kyleedgell.com/dielaughing_000.htm  Not exactly a fancy website - but it gets the info out.  

Death is....
when you're having a near death experience and there is nobody at the end of the tunnel saying go back, it's not your time.

Death is...
knowing a bit of rouge will only make you look cheap, not healthy.

Death is...
going "like totally" organic.

Could this actually be a tool for grief counselors? For Hospice workers? To lighten up a caretakers day? ...at worst, it would be a great "over the hill" gift for a friend.
