Coming Soon: The Committee on the Other Side

There are questions that linger long after the heart stops beating. The Committee on the Other Side is a book born from one of those questions: Who decides when we die—and who waits with us when that moment comes?

In a quiet hospice room in Utah, as the breath of a loved one softened, someone asked aloud: “I wonder if there’s a committee on the other side.” That simple phrase shifted the air—and became the seed of this book. What began as a whisper of wonder grew into a poetic, philosophical, and deeply personal exploration of death, timing, and the sacred space between here and the beyond.

Part memoir, part meditation, part sacred reflection, The Committee on the Other Side brings together ancient wisdom, spiritual inquiry, hospice stories, and the author’s own intimate brush with mortality. It speaks to those grieving, those healing, those waiting, and those simply trying to live with more reverence for what we can’t always explain.

What You’ll Find in These Pages

• A reverent and poetic voice guiding you through the mystery of death
• Reflections from Socrates, Plato, Heraclitus, and Kierkegaard—reframed in light of grief
• Real-world hospice moments and emotional contracts that hold souls close
• Interactive blessings, bedside rituals, and language for letting go
• A gentle invitation to become part of the great circle of those who witness and remember

This is not a book of doctrine. It is not about fear. It is a love letter to the liminal—to that sacred edge between breath and stillness, between goodbye and return.

“You don’t have to believe in the committee literally for this to matter. Maybe it’s metaphor. Maybe it’s memory. Maybe it’s mystery.”

Whether you’ve lost someone, are walking with someone through the end, or simply wish to prepare your own soul with intention—this book is for you.
