Description
'Not only a literary treasure but a vitally important book for young people, families, practitioners and professionals.' Dr Donna Maria Thomas, Senior Research Fellow, University of Central Lancashire, and author of Children’s Unexplained Experiences in a Post Materialist World
Talking with Angel about Illness, Death and Survival is the moving story of a young girl battling leukaemia. She eventually realizes that she is going to die and receives hope and comfort through nightly conversations with her favourite doll, Angel, who helps her embrace a new perspective on dying and the possibility that consciousness may survive after death. Her fear of death is ultimately lifted by her new-found spiritual wisdom and by the account of a near-death experience told to her by a young companion, as well as by a deathbed vision she has of her deceased grand-mother.

A Note From the Publisher
Evelyn Elsaesser is an independent researcher and author in the field of experiences related to death, especially Near-Death Experiences (NDE) and After-Death Communications (ADCs).

Advance Praise
From her acknowledged position as one of the world's most well-known researchers and writers on the near-death experience, Evelyn Elsaesser produces an evocative and moving story about dying. Elsaesser's triumph is in providing a genuine resource -- not simply for all children and parents desiring education about death and dying, but as one of the few books in the world one can put into the hands of a child who is facing a life-threatening illness.
Dr. Allan Kellehear, Professor emeritus of Palliative Care, University of Bradford, UK
