How Does a Well-known Grief Professional Handle Personal Loss?

Online, July 15, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Author Roland Comtois, nationally acclaimed public speaker, intuitive spiritual healer and grief counselor today announced the publication of his second book, 16 Minutes, When One Breath Ends, Another Begins, a heartfelt intimate memoir recording the final moments shared between a mother and her son during her passing. While his story is poignant and personal, the life lessons, thoughtfully revealed in the book, will resonate with anyone who has suffered or will suffer the loss of a loved one. The author takes us on an insightful journey through tears of sadness and grief, joys remembered, treasured memories lived and doubts unbidden, until he reaches a place that is ultimately hopeful, where life is repurposed and love is eternal. What makes 16 Minutes stand out from all other books on the subject is Roland's role as a well-known spiritual conduit between the here-and-now and the hereafter. He is able to transcend his personal loss and focus on healing, turning his own experiences with grief into a helpful resource and informative workbook for readers to utilize as they navigate through their losses. The 176-page book, an authoritative pocket-sized primer, is designed to offer comfort, guidance and solace in memorable passages that will transform the reader's perspectives about the finality of death.

Roland Comtois has spent more than 30 years ministering to thousands of grieving souls. His first book, now in its second printing, And Then There Was Heaven, A Journey of Hope and Love, chronicles his work as a spiritual advisor and nurse specializing in grief counseling. One reader summed up the essence of Roland's work in one sentence: "You have not only given me hope that there is a better place after life on Earth, but there is more reason to live a better life on Earth."

How has he coped with his loss? Does he still believe in eternal love? Has he found comfort in his knowledge that love never dies? Has he gained a new perspective on his beliefs? And has he experienced the despair and doubts that overwhelm people confronting mortality and death? What he has to say and how he says it is transformative and ultimately life altering and it is eloquently expressed in 16 Minutes.

Roland's candid confessions about his own experience provide insights about life and the healing power of eternal love that are unequalled anywhere - and are shared with readers through 16 Minutes.
