Following her husband’s death, she found seeing it too painful, so the helium balloon he had given her was put in the guest room, out of sight.
On the anniversary of his passing, though deflated for many long months, that balloon re-inflated and floated out of the bedroom, down the hallway, and came to hover directly above his chair.
This is only one of the messages she has received. She suggests The Afterlife Connection: A Therapist Reveals How to Communicate with Departed Loved Ones, by Dr. Jane Greer.
Dr. Jane Greer, a classically trained therapist, began with the belief that the bond that exists between the living and the dead is not purely a psychological one, but is, in fact, much more dynamic and empowering. In the shattering aftermath of her own mother’s death, Dr. Greer learned—and shows us as well—that transcommunication is not simply a “hello from heaven” but a powerful therapeutic tool that is available to any of us. Through this communication, the pain of grieving can be made more bearable, ambivalent relationships can be healed, and a loved one’s messages can bring relief and joy.{Amazon.com}
