Beskrivelse
Here is your warning: This book is a candid and unfiltered account of my experience as a Body Removal Technician. The police like to jokingly call us the body snatchers. We are responsible for picking up deceased individuals from their place of death. Despite the perception that this is a mundane job, I can assure you that it is far from ordinary. There is a reason the turn over in this industry is extremely high . Prepare yourself to be shocked, saddened, and perhaps, even haunted by the stories I share. This book aims to counter your preconceived notions about death and it will make you question what you thought you knew.
Death is such a taboo subject. People think if it's not discussed it will go away. I used to be one of those people. The amount of sleepless nights I have endured, anxiously anticipating the death of a loved one, or my dogs, would make your head spin. Today, I can honestly say, that I no longer fear death. I sleep like a baby now. I see what we humans look like after we pass. I see the smiles, grins and often laughter etched into our faces. I see the peace, contentment, and relief on our faces. I see death up close, for 96 hours straight, every week. Each chapter is dedicated to a soul or numerous souls, who I had the honor of giving their last car ride to.
I strongly believe it is important for us to openly discuss and become comfortable with the topic of death. It is an inevitable reality that we all will face. I also believe that much of the fear surrounding death diminishes as we acquire more knowledge about it. Researchers have actually concluded that the people who embrace and accept death live more meaningful lives. To, me that makes complete sense. We appreciate people and precious moments more when we know neither are going to last forever. It has actually been said that the ones who are afraid of death don't live at all. We all have struggles. We all know life is hard. But, there is a reason for all the obstacles thrown in our path. I firmly believe that one day it will all make complete sense. I pray you each walk away from this book knowing there's something greater out there in this vast universe. By incorporating humor, I aim to counter the sadness often associated with this subject. It is my firm belief that nobody should fear something that ultimately has the potential to be a beautiful and profound experience.
