May The Angels Carry You: Jewish Prayers And Meditations For The Deathbed

In this book of deathbed prayers and meditations, Dr. Simcha Paull Raphael provides us with powerful insights into Jewish tradition. His look at the role and power of prayer as life ebbs provides the reader with a foundation for comfort, compassion and caring that links us with a sense of the sacred. His desire to have us ritually engaged with life's last passage serves as a practical tool for the mysterious journey at the end of life. May The Angels Carry You guides one's soul with a sense of dignity and celebration of the gift that is our life. --Rabbi Richard F. Address, D.Min, Director, Jewish Sacred Aging "This book is a required resource for any family member, friend, clinician who wishes to offer a breadth of prayers and blessings, and stories for Jewish families and patients. May the Angels Carry You is a gift of compassion. May these teachings of love, tenderness and connection nourish you and flourish in the world." --Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, Co-Editor of Awake at the Bedside: Contemplative Teachings on Palliative and End of Life Care "Once again, Dr. Simcha Paull Raphael, has mapped the worlds of mystery providing a guide for attending to others and for our own preparation for what is inevitable. May the Angels Carry You is another contribution as we bring the essential conversation out of the shadows so that we end the denial of death that keeps us from living fully." --Rabbi Anne Brener, LCSW, author of Mourning and Mitzvah: A Guided Journal for Walking the Mourner's Path
