New Book “Stories from the Edge” Chronicles a Chaplain’s Powerful Encounters with Life, Death, and the Unknown

New Book "Stories from the Edge" Chronicles a Chaplain’s Powerful Encounters with Life, Death, and the Unknown

Indianapolis, Indiana - September 16, 2025 - Stories from the Edge: A Chaplain’s Encounters with Dying Patients by Laurie Eynon is a moving, soul-stirring collection of real-life encounters that offer an unflinching look into the sacred moments of life’s final chapter. With compassion, honesty, and wisdom, Eynon invites readers into the often-unspoken world of hospital and hospice chaplaincy, where the line between life and death blurs and where mystery, grief, and unexpected grace emerge.

Drawing from her years of service in hospital corridors and hospice rooms, Eynon shares vivid and intimate stories of patients and families facing death. From the mother saying goodbye to a teenage son, to a boy who claimed his deceased grandmother told him the baby had died, to a skeptical engineer who never stepped foot in a church yet lived a life of quiet service and generosity. These narratives, along with Eynon’s own reflections, including the loss of her young daughter, bring authenticity and depth that only someone who has walked the same road can offer.

“Each story reveals not only the complexity of dying, but also the hidden beauty and humanity found within it,” says Eynon. “I hope readers will walk away with a deeper understanding of what it means to truly be present—for the dying and for the living.”

Why this book matters:

  • Offers solace and insight for those grieving or facing death
  • Opens honest conversations around spirituality, fear, and acceptance
  • Challenges cultural discomfort around death through storytelling and reflection
  • Ideal for healthcare workers, caregivers, chaplains, clergy, and readers of memoir and spiritual non-fiction

Stories from the Edge is not just about death but about life, presence, and the divine moments we often let go unnoticed. It encourages readers to embrace mystery, practice compassion, and honor the sacred in every goodbye.
