If you're looking for stories that help make sense of grief, love, forgiveness, and second chances, these three books by Albom are a great place to start:
What if the afterlife wasn’t about golden gates and clouds — but about understanding your life in full?
In this modern classic, Albom introduces us to Eddie, a seemingly ordinary man whose life had a greater impact than he ever imagined. After dying in a tragic accident, Eddie meets five people in heaven who each reveal how their lives were touched by his.

Imagine getting just one more day with someone you’ve lost. What would you say? What would you do differently?
