They Said I was Leaving at Eight

About the Book

A telling story that recounts a mother fighting for her life, while her daughter supports her journey of denial to acceptance of having to let go. The author recounts her mother’s undying love for her first husband Lieth, who was killed 50 years prior in WWII. In the final year, Leith returned from the other side to take her home. Recording her incredible mother’s near death experience, the author describes what to expect on the other side; we are never alone, we are surrounded and guided by beings of light, and our loved ones who have already passed over are waiting there for us. “This is a wonderful, wonderful book. It really opened my heart to my own grieving process and I could not put it down.” —Karin Jefferies, R.N “I could not put this book down from the first page. It opened my eyes to so much more than this physical world we live in.” —Hannah Louise, London, UK “Riveting! I couldn’t put this book down. The story reveals that the cycle of life and death is beyond amazing!” —Merle Hetherington, R.N.

About the Author

Carole has a busy counselling practice in Vancouver and the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. Carole has recently completed her Master’s in the Vedic Sciences at UVA in Texas. A year after her Mother’s death, Carole was adamant that no one should have to die alone in a hospital, so she volunteered as one of the eight board members on the Board of Hospice in Vernon, B.C. These eight board members raised enough money to construct a beautiful non-profit hospice house. The hospice house started with six private bedrooms that has now grown to 12 bedrooms and is considered the jewel of this community. It is a place where people from all walks of life can die surrounded by loved ones in a peaceful and caring setting.
