Triumph. Traveling Towards Death: Preparing for a New Life - Softcover

Death may be the last taboo in our society, but Darlyne and Philip intend to tear down the walls. Together they have created a compelling, deeply personal and educational portrait of regular folk living life after one has received a terminal diagnosis. This book is the result of daily writing over the past year, as they clarified and expressed their feelings about Darlyne's impending death and Philip's loss. In an extraordinary reception of direction they decided to share their feelings with the public - an unusual and powerful decision. They speak clearly, cry openly, and dance for the joy of being alive. Darlyne brings to this endeavor over thirty-five years as a special education teacher, speech pathologist, workshop leader and hypnotherapist. Philip's background is that of a commercial ship-to-shore radiotelegraph operator for over 30 years at the RCA coastal marine station KPH on the Pt. Reyes Peninsula in California. He and his colleagues communicated with ships at sea, world-wide through the use of Morse code.
