Traveling In and Out of Heaven

by Elaine Feuer

Overview

This is the story of my brother's five-month battle against esophageal cancer, encompassing: the profound love between a brother and sister as they struggle with the torment of an unbearable illness; the love and support of family and friends; and the treacherous betrayal of a daughter. She exploited her next-of-kin status, threatening to end Allan's life when he still had a chance of surviving, to inherit his Life Insurance Trust.  And then she did the unspeakable...
 
It is with heartfelt forewarning, that I advise readers to ascertain end-of-life options, to avoid the adjunct anguish that engulfed my life as my brother's medical proxy (which he had inadvertently forgot to sign), and as Executor of his Estate. The poignant and agonizing issues in this narrative are circumstances that readers could encounter at some point in their lifetime: an unsigned medical proxy; next-of-kin power over medical decisions; life support; and a duplicitous legal petition. Join me on this journey of love, heartbreak, and malevolence. Once you start reading, you won't be able to stop!

About the Author

Elaine is the CEO of Blue Danube Publishing. She is currently launching her new memoir, Traveling In and Out of Heaven, in April 2017. This is the story of her brother’s five-month battle against esophageal cancer, and his daughter’s treacherous betrayal. 

Blue Danube has recently published Professor Sean Davison’s enthralling new memoir,  The Last Waltz: Love, Death & Betrayal. In 2006, Sean cared for his terminally ill mother, Pat Ferguson, during the final three months of her life, and was charged with attempted murder, after he assisted in her death when he suffering became unbearable.

Elaine is the author of To Gently Leave This Life: The Right To Die, which explores the right-to-die movement and the human tragedies, such as Karen Quinlan’s difficult death, that precipitated assisted dying legislation in several states in the U.S., Canada, several countries in Europe, and recently in South Africa. Patients living in these states and countries have the option of choosing assisted death if their suffering becomes unbearable. Elaine also wrote the critically acclaimed exposé, Innocent Casualties: The FDA’s War Against Humanity – which is now available in its fourth edition as an eBook: Irene Alleger, editor for Townsend Letter for Doctors & Patients wrote: “Innocent Casualties manages to make the blood boil in righteous anger, because it makes the FDA’s abuse of power so personal…  Ms. Feuer takes the reader step-by-step through the nonsensical tactics, deceit, and police mentality.”  

  Elaine has worked in the medical division of Little, Brown & Company and freelanced as a research and development coordinator for a variety of film and television projects, including the critically acclaimed films, Imagine: John Lennon; 25 x 5: The Continuing Adventure of the Rolling Stones; Elvis: The Great Performances; Learned Pigs & Fireproof Women. Elaine obtained history and criminology degrees – “Graduating With Distinction” – from the University of Toronto; received “Academic Excellence in Editing” from the University of Massachusetts, Boston; and was an “Ontario Scholar.”

Editorial Reviews

I was riveted by this captivating story, because the author makes you feel like you are a part of the drama. I literally could not stop reading it! Elaine was an incredible sister to her brother, while having to deal with his duplicitous daughter: you see the best and worst of human behavior. I enthusiastically recommend this book to people in all walks of life, because these events could happen to any of us. It certainly is a journey of love, heartbreak, and malevolence. Get the book!
