The complexity and impermanence of human life are common themes in writer Mitch Albom’s work. In Albom’s novel “The Five People We Meet In Heaven,” the protagonist Eddie feels unsatisfied. At 83 years old, he’s a World War II veteran working an unfulfilling job, with no family or friends in his life. After dying in a job site accident, Eddie wakes up to meet five people in heaven who have been key figures in his life in direct and indirect ways. It’s a poignant reminder that even if we feel like we’re all alone, we’re not: We impact people’s lives through our actions, even if we don’t always realize it.
