NEW BOOK – Is there Laugh after Death?”

“Laughter is the elixir in the apothecary for care-of-the-soul. In the face of death such an elixir is always welcome, not as a strategy for evasion or denial but rather as a gift for grieving. This extraordinary book provides some of the most poignant and healing moments for those who have traversed ‘the valley of the shadow.’ David Naster is the ultimate ’Laugh Doctor.’ What he prescribes and offers as treatment is the stuff of which holiness and healing are made.”  

 Dr. Bob Hill, Community Christian Church

“As we work with dying patients and their families, humor tumbles out in places we least expect. Laughing in those moments creates a powerful connection that embraces our joy for each other.  The following stories remind us of those funny moments, making it a bit easier to let go and move on.”

Charlene Shibel, Director Hospice and Home Health    Olathe Medical Center

“The beginning of this book is the yarn and knitting needles of a weaving machine. When you get to the very end, you see it (and feel it) – this big beautiful woven tapestry (of life’s colorful yarn). It’s excellent pictures, woven from all the wonderful stories, brings a touching comic relief to life’s ruffled end.”
