My "Why"
​
On my 27th birthday, October 30, 1980, I received the most precious gift—the answer to my lifelong burning question:
​
"What happens after we die?"​
​
Amber knew she was dying... she knew she would go to Heaven... she knew she would never leave me. I did not.
A few days before she died, she called me to her side and revealed the miracle that was about to unfold.
​
"Mom, when I die, I'll still be Amber, I'll just be different."
​
With the Key to Heaven in her hand to open the Golden Gates, she slipped away peacefully. And at that very moment, I physically felt her spirit... her soul merge with God and with me. I was transformed... grateful for the many lessons she taught me... aware of my Life Task: To share Amber's message of "Hope, Heaven, and the Miracle of Life and Death." Her death was profound, powerful, and proof of a "good death." I believe it can be so for all of us, if we are open to receive the wisdom, beauty, serenity, and even joy, this precious gift of life and death is waiting to bestow upon us.​
​
I am called to share... to serve... to stand at The Threshold with others. This is why I am here on Earth.
Warm embrace, Patti

About Patti DiMiceli
Patti’s book, Embrace the Angel, and her life’s work helping others have “a good death,” fulfill her dream as an Artist, Life Coach, Inspiring Entrepreneur, Grief Educator, and End-of-Life Doula.
In 1980, the world watched as Patti fought to save the life of her 4-year-old daughter, Amber. After extraordinary effort—and with the support of Bernie Siegel, MD as Amber’s doctor, as well as the love of countless supporters—Patti realized her little girl would die. Together, they lived Amber’s final days to the fullest. In the end, they helped this brave little soul cross The Threshold between
life and death, transported to the Other Side by a human miracle.
Although Patti feared Amber’s death, her daughter’s words of wisdom reassured her:
“Mom, when I die, I’ll still be Amber. I’ll just be different.”
These amazing, insightful words transformed Patti’s understanding of life, death, and the Soul’s journey. She now embraces her Angel, knowing that Amber did not “die” or “pass away.” She simply changed.
Patti did not write Embrace the Angel alone — she channeled it with Amber. Every page carries her daughter’s presence, her light, her message of "Hope, Heaven, and the Miracle of Life and Death." Amber’s spirit and legacy live on as people around the world read Embrace the Angel, share her message, and give the gift of Silky Angels to comfort the ones they love.
Carrying the Legacy Forward
Patti has channeled her desire to help others live their most powerful lives through her company Tobias & Co. LLC, named after her son, Toby. Today, the Embrace the Angel community and the “Be an Angel, Comfort an Angel” Global Initiative are touching the lives of millions of people around the world.
​“Mom, I know I’m here to help a lot of people!”
Amber’s words are now a living Legacy.
