Episode: Kate Braestrup — A Presence in the Wild
It is a memoir published in 2007 about the author's experiences as a chaplain to game wardens in Maine, reflecting on life, death, loss, and faith. The book includes anecdotes from her work and personal life, such as her husband's sudden death and how it shaped her ministry.

If you are in Christian terms following Christ or in unitarian universalist terms completely and holy in love then you are in heaven no matter where you are. If you are not in love you are in hell no matter where you are.
She concludes the stories we tell of heaven and hell are not about how we die but about how we live.
