Life Eclipses Death: A Mother and Daughter's Illuminating Journey to Find Joy in Life and Peace with Death (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736461006)

As Diana approached death, her soul began to shine. All of the life that she lived, all of the love that she shared became illuminated.

In this moving true story, Diana Bee Steffen, a writer and an inspired lover of life, is diagnosed with a rare form of thyroid cancer. This begins her five year journey to her resting place. She and her daughter Liz navigate the many twists and turns of a terminal illness. They had always had a special bond and this deepens as they face surgeries, the loss of Diana's voice box, clinical trials, and multiple trips to the hospital. Together they investigate what it means to die, commit to celebrate life while alive, and have profound explorations around the heartbreak of parting with each other in this lifetime.

As a practicing intuitive healer for over 25 years, Liz had guided hundreds of people through death, dying, and grief. Nothing fully prepared her for the intensity of caregiving and the eventual loss of her mom. After Diana's death, Liz gathered her mom's writing and this compelling book integrates the stories of both mother and daughter. Letting go of a life well lived can be challenging. Walking into that challenge head on, Liz and Diana transform in powerful ways and encourage us all to live fully while we are here.
