Customer Feedback Charlotte O. (Minnesota) I just want to tell you how much I love your candles. I thank God for Oprah putting one of your candles in each of our bags at her workshop. The three candles I ordered from your "in memory" line will be traveling with me to the World Trade Center site where I will be a grief counselor next week. I will use them when I pray and meditate each morning and night.

1. Remembering With Love : Messages of Hope for the First Year of Grieving and Beyond
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Having struggled with many confusing feelings for a year and a
half after the sudden death of my beloved 19 year old son, I
found this book by accident while browsing through a bookstore in San
Francisco in 1993. From the moment I picked it off the shelf I drew comfort
from the many short stories of people like myself who are experiencing
feelings of total devastation, anger (particularly at God), loneliness,
numbness and guilt for not being able to get control of my feelings. To see
these feelings verbalized by others, made me realize that not only is it okay
to have these feelings, but it is also normal. To be told that I have a RIGHT
to be angry, lonely, numb and anything else I may be feeling, freed me from my
guilt. I lost my son. I have every right to grieve. And to grieve, any way,
and for as long as I need to. A truly liberating book.

I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye :
Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Sudden Death of a Loved One
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Each year about eight million Americans suffer
the death of a
close family member. The list of high visibility disasters,
human suffering and sudden loss is long and will continue to grow. Outside the
publicized tragedies there are many families and individuals that are
suffering behind closed doors in our neighborhoods, in our own homes, in
hospital waiting rooms. Now for those who face the challenges of sudden death,
there is a hand to hold. Both authors lost a loved one tragically. Noel's
brother was stung by a bee and died instantly at age 27. Blair's husband died
of a brain aneurysm. As they struggled to rebuild they found little printed
material.
I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye is
the first book to devote all its pages to the unique challenges of sudden
loss, written by two women who have walked the path. They cover such difficult
topics as the first few weeks, suicide, death of a child, when a body isn't
found, children and grief, funerals and rituals, physical effects, homicide,
depression and many others.

Emotional, ethereal, and evocative,
Immortal Memory

Can Dance, won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award for the
Gladiator score. She's also scored or
contributed to
Heat,
Whale Rider,
Ali,
The Insider,
Mission Impossible 2,
Black Hawk Down, and more. Patrick
Cassidy is widely recognized as Ireland's most important classical composer
and has released three acclaimed albums. He also wrote music for "Broken
Harvest," the aria for the opera scene in
Hannibal, and he was specially
commissioned to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Irish Famine with his
work, "Famine Remembrance," premiered at St. Patrick's Cathedral, NY and
narrated by Angelica Huston.

From Amazon.com:
As with his performance of the Mass in C Minor
with these same forces, Leonard Bernstein provides another outstanding
performance, certainly one of the very finest available of this oft-recorded
music. Without indulging in the sort of Romantic mannerisms that sometimes
afflict his Mozart, Bernstein urges his Bavarian forces on to heights of
passion and intensity that never upset the music's natural proportions. A
magnificent disc.

Feather on the Breath of God
Original Release Date: 1986

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
This is the record that started the
Hildegard craze back in 1982--and you need only listen to Emma Kirkby glide
and soar through "Columba aspexit" (the opening hymn) to understand why.
Gothic Voices performs the music very simply, either alternating soloists and
unison choir over a drone or using a single unaccompanied voice. The singers
render Hildegard's extravagant poetic imagery and melody not with the
rhythmically fluid, ecstatic approach favored by Sequentia, but with equalist
rhythm and a calm, meditative quality. Gothic Voices' straightforward approach
is less likely to send you into a rapturous trance than is Sequentia's, but in
the hands of such fine singers as Kirkby, Margaret Philpot, and Emily van
Evera, Hildegard's extraordinary texts and melodies are captivating--and clear
enough to linger in the memory as melodies rather than just sensations.
This record is still Hyperion's bestselling title by far--try it and find out
why.

From Amazon.com: Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language
Film of 2004,
The Sea Inside is a
life-affirming film about a man who wishes to die. That may seem like a
massive contradiction, but in the hands of director Alejandro Amenábar (Open
Your Eyes,
The Others) and actor Javier Bardem (Before
Night Falls), this fact-based Spanish drama concerns the final
days of Ramón Sampedro, the quadriplegic poet who waged a controversial
campaign for his right to die. He was denied this right for 30 years, and
ultimately arranged for his own assisted suicide, but this remarkable
film--and Bardem's keenly intelligent performance--examines the hotly-debated
issue of assisted suicide with admirable depth and humanity, just as Sampedro
did until his death in 1998. For Sampedro, death was preferable to severe
paralysis (he even refused to use a wheelchair), but the film does not suggest
a disposable attitude toward disability. Instead, it's a thoughtful meditation
on life and love as gifts to be cherished, and a challenging drama that begs
each viewer to examine their own personal beliefs about what makes life worth
living. You may not agree with Sampedro and his ultimate denial of life, but
The Sea Inside will urge
you to ponder how you would react under similar circumstances, and that makes
it a profoundly meaningful film.

From Amazon.com:
Deservedly hailed as one of the best
films of 2001,
Wit
makes it clear why top-ranking talents seek refuge in the quality programming
of HBO. Unhindered by box-office pressures, director Mike Nichols and Emma
Thompson turn the most unglamorous topic--the physical and psychological
ravages of cancer--into an exquisite contemplation of life, learning, and
tenacious, richly expressed humanity. In adapting Margaret Edson's
compassionate, Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Nichols and Thompson open up the
one-room setting with a superb supporting cast. But their focus remains on the
hospital experience of Vivian (Thompson), a fiercely demanding professor of
English literature whose academic specialty--the metaphysical poetry of John
Donne--is the armor she wears against the cruel indignities of her cancer
treatment. While losing all that she held dear, she reassesses her life as an
aloof intellectual, and
Wit
illuminates her bracingly eloquent and deeply moving struggle for dignity,
meaning, and peace at life's ultimate crossroads.

From Amazon.com:
This warmhearted TV offering based on
Mitch Albom's
nonfiction bestseller of the same name dives
right into the action, with Morrie (Jack Lemmon) collapsing within the first
three minutes. Then it's cut to Mitch's hectic life as a sports columnist cum
television host and long-term, often long-distance boyfriend. But this Mick
Jackson-directed film slows considerably after the introductions as former
student Mitch (Hank Azaria) learns his beloved professor is dying of ALS (Lou Gehrig's
disease). He reconnects with his mentor and begins learning from him all over
again, this time about life. Oprah Winfrey produced this 88-minute film, and
her renowned touchy-feely quality is prominent as Mitch learns to love both
Morrie and his own girlfriend. Azaria, better known for somewhat goofy roles (The
Birdcage,
The Simpsons) conveys an intelligent, if
edgy dignity, and double Oscar winner Lemmon turns in his usual exquisite
performance, giving even the most obvious moments touches of subtlety. | ||||||||||
