A beautiful, open expression of Love and acceptance Apr 24, 2009
Stevens journey through the process of dying, from both points of view, is personal and compelling. The extra year they share is a gift that many of us could experience if we were but open to the possiblilty. I was deeply touched by what they shared both before and after physical death. Thank you Steven, for this precious gift of hope and encouragement. Blessings upon blessings to you.
Warming, hopeful, insightful and enlightening Jan 10, 2009
Written from a very personal view and a very personal experience, "An Extra Year: Grief and Loss in the New Age" is well written from a very positive space. It provides a warming and hopeful view of loss and comes from a perspective of insight and enlightenment. This one person's experience of loss and the grieving process and how to deal with it in a different way, different from the traditional way, can be very helpful as we all will experience loss at some point. Thank you!
Captivated from beginning to end Dec 21, 2008
When I purchased this book I was curious to see how the author was going to approach the subject of death as it can be a delicate one. I personally was captivated from the beginning chapter until the end and wished it could have continued. This is an excellent read for anybody who is curious about death or who has had to experience the passing of somebody close. It confirms, through a true life story, the viewpoint that the eastern religions have known for years about the death experience. I thank Steven for being open and honest enough to share this extremely personal year with the rest of us.

A Profound and Moving Read Dec 16, 2008
It is not unusual that a book about the loss of a partner should be vividly moving, what is so special about this book is its humor--it is laugh-out-loud funny and quite gripping, so much so that I read it in a single sitting, finished it, and then started all over again. The author takes as his initial premise that who we appear to be in this life is not the totality of what we are, that there is another existence "beyond the veil" and that it is possible to contact those we have loved and lost. Yet, even with these seemingly, "woo woo" assumptions, this is a deeply down-to-earth book written by someone who, by the end, you wish you knew as a personal friend. Ultimately, this is the story of a beautiful, loving, inspiring relationship between committed partners which continues beyond death. It is a book about a man who is willing to embrace life-shattering loss, and ultimately, to grow and even to be enriched by it. What a lovely book.

A love story Dec 10, 2008
This is an inspirational story of love and loss. The author writes in a familiar tone, as if he is sitting on your couch having a conversation with you. As you read, you come to understand the powerful love Steven, the author and Steve, his deceased partner shared. Steven is left on his own to learn how to handle the loss of the "love of his life", and he finds a connection to his departed lover. The spiritual connection Steven finds helps him to overcome his tremendous sadness. Don't be put off by the words "New Age" in the title. Steven shares his "unique" journey of coming to terms with how to deal with his loss, but there are insights for all types of believers regardless of your religious or nonreligious inclinations.
