"Here's a puzzle for you: How did a respected pathologist, who deals withautopsies, dead bodies, and mortal remains, come to believe we're all immortal, right now? To her courage in standing up for this vision , this truth, of who we are, I bow deeply.”

Larry Dossey, MD

Author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things

“"In this latest work, Dr. Amatuzio opens the mysterious interface between life and death. Carefully dissecting stories told to her by families and friends of the newly dead, this consummate investigator uncovers rich insights that heal the heart and illuminate the spirit. With kindness and candor, the compassionate coroner translates these extraordinary death narratives into lessons for the living."

“If you want to open your mind, read this book and truly begin the journey of life, which does not end with death.”

Dr. Bernie Siegel, MD,
Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles

“BEYOND KNOWING is a book of real life Mystery stories beautifully written by a physician trained in the hard science of Forensic Pathology. I recommend it to anyone who has ever wondered if Science has defined Life too narrowly and asked themselves “What if… .?” I simply love this book.”

"This book reveals to us those experiences, glorious and uplifting, that science cannot explain.  The tales ring with faith that death is not the end, and we await with wonder."

John I. Coe, MD,
former chief medical examiner of Hennepin County, Minnesota

"As a forensic pathologist, Dr. Janis Amatuzio looks death in the eye every day, and she has come away from this confrontation with a message of promise and hope.  Her vision is a stark contrast to the dismal pronouncements of modern science that death is the end of everything.  Forever Ours is the only book I know that finds buoyant, optimistic meaning in the morgue.  It could be written only by a physician of uncommon vision, who, although she attends to dead bodies, is a healer."

Larry Dossey, MD,
author, Healing Beyond the Body

"A deeply compassionate, extraordinarily sensitive, and objectively scientific exploration of the mystery of death. This book is a wonderful gift to care givers, patients, family members, and every person who has ever thought  about our human mortality and the meaning of life---which means, of course, that  it is a gift to us all."  

Neale Donald Walsch,
author, Conversations with God

“ Dr. Amatuzio, often called ‘the compassionate coroner,’ is an exemplar for the compassionate practice of forensic medicine. Forever Ours has much to teach us about healing, loving, and the deep connections with our loved ones.”

Kathleen McMonigal, MD,
Aerospace Medicine, Houston

“ Many thanks for publishing this book.... There are no words to describe the impact Forever Ours has had on me...”
