About the book
"ABOUT THE BOOK"
As powerfully quoted by Joseph Shulam in the foreword of this book, "There are medical books written by doctors who have researched, studied issues, and gained knowledge in their professional capacity. However, very few of these medical books were written by doctors who themselves have experienced the illness in their own bodies".
This author’s journey to reclaim her Sephardic Jewish heritage led her on an adventure that began in the early nineties in full-time Christian ministry and eventually propelled her into a powerful ten-year journey of prophetic insight and inspiration. She went from an ordained Pastor of Pastors with a successful ministry into Judaism and soon after enrolled herself in formal rabbinic studies, and was ordained a Rabbi. Through this insightful journey filled with intense study and spiritual experiences, she says what most may think but would most likely not ever say. She has further concluded without a shadow of a doubt that both Judaism and Christianity are broken but God has chosen to dwell in them both.
She is quick to confess, "Christianity and Judaism broke my heart, yet, both Christianity and Judaism brought me closer to the knowledge of God". Blessed be He!

"The Impossible Possibility"
The Power of the Divine Soul
A Book on the Grief journey
(for the Bereaved)
Published by Archway Publishing
from Simon & Schuster
from Simon & Schuster
You will find this book to be an easy read yet this writer believes it will be a helpful one for those that have experienced the loss of a loved one. The Impossible Possibility is not intended to be religious. If one had to label it, it would be better referred to as an interfaith and/or universal spiritual perspective on grief. Moreover, it was not written to persuade anyone toward a particular doctrine nor stream of faith, but to encourage the reality that there is life after death and that we can have hope that our departed loved ones have transitioned from life to life.
It is this writers contention that life here on earth meets death only to meet life again. This book was written based on my experiences as clergy and for over thirty years, ministering to people from all walks of life, cultures, and religions many, who have been faced with different types of loss that witnessed many impossible possibilities. It is true, the divine Soul is powerful. That which I said I understood for many years, I did not fully grasp, until, my work in Chaplaincy and Bereavement in the medical field through Hospice and Home Health. It truly opened my eyes. This season of bereavement in one's life is filled with impossible possibilities and it is best we move forward toward healing with this in mind.

Endorsements
"The Impossible Possibility will surely provide a sober but gentle guild from deep despair and emotional pain to the shining light of hope and eventual happiness. I lost my loving wife Patricia 10 years ago and I wish I had this wonderful book in my hands then. It was still useful to me when I found this gem and read it from cover to cover. Thank you Dr. Diaz!"

I recently lost my father and have found this book to turn my grief into hope that I will see my father again. It encouraged me to realize death is for the moment but the promise awaits of seeing loved ones who have passed on. “The Impossible Possibility” has brought me peace in knowing even in death there is Life that awaits me.

Elisheva’s (Irma) knowledge of the challenges grief presents to one’s life and the influence spirituality has on the grief process is humbling. She has amazing insight into the heart of the bereaved and provides that “warm hug” we all need at the right time.
