The final days of the Rosedales

Moving beyond his robotic behavior, Brad meets the final challenge of fully accepting his humanity. He decides that because he has reached a contented state the mission has been accomplished.  He believes from his studies that he could pass on to a higher plane of existence, one with more evolved spiritual evolution.

A terrible tragedy takes place – Elly dies in a plane crash returning from Japan. Brad is lost, but makes a final effort to  spend his remaining years in service to the good of others. He donates the Elly’s life insurance check to a charity for poor children, and takes a volunteer job doing medical exams in homeless shelters. While checking an elderly man in respiratory distress, the man coughs into his face and Brad gets flu-like symptoms days later. He calls in sick to work, but when they don’t hear from him for several days the police are called and they go to his home to find him dead.

He tries right up until his last breath to determine if he has lived a life of goodness, but cannot.  Perhaps Faith will get him to the Good Place after he dies. We find out that death is only a transition to another state of consciousness.  Read the book for the amazing and glorious details.
