Still Born - Stepping into the Unknown: A Memoir of Dying with My Daughter, began as raw journal entries where the author, Mary Hamilton, could face the truth of her daughter's dying and ultimate death-""to dig deeper, and endure the suffering,"" while confronting unbearable challenges and living daily life.

Through the bounty of dreams, visions, and deep reflection, the intimate experience of her Laura's death opened her to the essential core of herself, a gift of intimacy she compares to ""the pearl beyond great price,"" where the release of true heart values open from the separate realm of the flesh to the vast spaciousness of spirit, becoming One.

Still Born intends to help its readers lessen their fears of death and dying by inspiring them to open their curious minds to the presence of death, not as only an ending, but as the intimate experience of birth, life, death, and rebirth on earth.

As Mary Hamilton so aptly states: ""Death, once faced as part of all Life, frees (us) to taste eternal Life, while still born.""

Reviews for Still Born - Stepping into the Unknown: A Memoir of Dying with My Daughter

"""As a hospice worker, I am acutely cognizant that profound loss can sometimes pull us under in a sea of misery. Still Born, however, is not a book about defeat, rather it is a testimony to the ability to awaken to the preciousness of life and the depth of love."" -Teresa Bryant, hospice worker, psychotherapist, & founder of Sacred Earth Contemplatives ""In this rare and illuminating book, Mary Hamilton offers a glimpse of a life lived beyond despair and fear, a life lived as an expression of LOVE. Wrestling with the unthinkable, she is guided by the images and messages in her dreams that she experiences as nature's way to balance and stabilize. Eventually, Mary realizes who she really is-a 'joyful oneness...a part of all that is, yet also a separate type of awareness inside the oneness'"" -Wendy Willmot, MA, MES, Jungian psychoanalyst"
