_About The Book_

“Dying Was Easy: Coming Back Was Really Hard” by Edward Breech, RN, MSN, CEN explores a very personal experience, the one that draws you in immediately. It is not a health story; it is crude and very real. The author tells his struggle with a severe autoimmune disorder that caused havoc in their life. Imagine how difficult it can be to get out of bed when you can hardly move–that was what they had to do. It is a wake-up call, the moment of everything changing.

The story “Dying Was Easy” takes a turn, as well. You also receive the context of having weight problems, sleep problems, and the pressure of working in an ER during the pandemic at its peak. It creates an image of not taking care of oneself and the outcomes thereof. Then there comes this unbelievable twist–to put it all back together. Exercise, diet changes, supplements. It is all about grit, stubbornness, and pure determination to regain health.

Then the unforeseen occurs. Cardiac arrest. That twist hits hard. How the author survived is truly miraculous, and it is not even merely a matter of chance. And it goes deep into those moments, the science of survival, and the miracle of immediate mental recovery immediately after. They discuss life after near-death in a way that is compelling.

All in all, it is not a book; it is an experience. “Dying Was Easy: Coming Back Was Really Hard” by Edward Breech, RN, MSN, CEN makes you think about health in a new way and question what you would do in the same situation. A great book to read when in need of inspiration or simply a reality check. It is very strong, compelling, and certainly worth reading.
