Books by M J Zitnansky

Sleepless Nights presents a collection of poetry by Marie Zitnansky, written during the sleepless nights she endured following the death of her husband. He was a medical doctor who was much loved by his family and his patients. She could not imagine living without her husband, and for a time she thought that she too would die from the pain of his loss.Her outlook improved when she began to write of her love for her husband in poetry. She realized that she was not the only one who had lost a loved one, and she tried to understand what that profound loss meant to other people. She put that understanding into her poems. This realization helped her to sleep at night and to go on with her life. She also explored in verse her sorrow about the loss of her native country and her love for God.Sleepless Nights expresses from the heart the pain of losing a loved one and shows that the longing for a lost love is universal for all people.

After her husband's death, his wife experienced "signs" like switching off and on of lights etc., which she did not understand. She tried to get the explanation of this phenomenon by the clergy of different denominations, but she could not get any answers.She decided to do her own research with the help of books that deal with afterlife. She is writing about her ¿ ndings in her book "Doctor's Life Beyond". The book talks about what happens when people die a "clinical death" and what they talk about when they are brought back to life with the help of the modern resuscitation process. She also explains why Darwin's Theory of evolution was not fully accepted yet. She is talking about some of the scientist's views of a designer of the word and the life on it. She is mentioning the scriptures and why we can believe in what is written in the Bible. Most people want scienti¿ c explanations, but science can't explain what people so desperately want to know, namely how life originated and why we are here.
