Sooner or later, we all come to face the reality of loss—our own or someone else’s.

Presence is a gentle and illuminating guide to the sacred process of dying, grief, and what lies beyond. Through rich personal stories, meditations, and reflections, it offers simple, yet profound ways to access deeper awareness when news of an imminent death arrives.

Infused with Don’s lived experience and compassionate insight, Presence offers solace, clarity, and quiet strength to those navigating the final stages of a soul’s journey. With love and radical honesty, this book becomes a steadfast companion for those who are departing, those who walk beside the dying, and those who remain—each learning to carry loss and love as one.

In the unfolding journey of dying, love’s enduring presence is revealed, embracing all who enter its path.
