As a sufferer and survivor of death and bereavement, Chuma uses memoirs and poems to bring forth a beautiful and poignant memoir about the demise cancer imposed on his mother and his favorite aunt, and the anguish he suffered when AIDS took the life of his closest friend—each fatality in less than a year. Despite enduring melancholy, loss, and hopelessness, with the help of the ancestors and his imperiled loved ones, Chuma realizes that death is merely an entryway to everlasting existence in a different form. At times heartbreaking and painful, and at other times triumphant, this book is a journey through grave sadness, loving support, startling bravery, and a celebration o f the afterlife, all discovered through the power of love.

"lovewords" is my remembrance of myself. It is the way in which I live according to my belief that simultaenously I am part of and all of The Universe, living this human life to experience my own magnificence. I am a part of the diviity of all creation...we all are. By speaking words from a place called love, I affirm all that I am and all that I know. I affirm all that others are and all that they know. By speaking words from a place called love we can defeat fear. By speaking from a place called love we can truly be ourselves--the physical embodiment of the divine creative force that is life. Love is not a fantasy, a luxury, or a gift. Love is a birthright, a driving force, a pure thing. Love is my choice. THE AFFECTATION - OVEROMING SHAME AND REMOVING THE MASK
