Afterlife Bonds:
How Spirit Communication Turned My Grief into a Journey of Joy
Writing a book seemed like a massive mountain to climb. I was someone who needed a spell-checker for the most mundane emails. Still, there was that burning desire to share my unexpected experience of a new sibling, in a complete way that could include my background, my journey, and all the feelings along the way. I knew it had to be a book, I had to be able to write until I felt done, exhausted and my story fully expressed. This was a strange feeling for an engineer turned psychic medium who spent so much time learning math. Yet, here I was, wondering, “How do I write a book?”
I had dabbled in writing children’s books because I loved the humor and connection it gave me when I read to my boys years ago. It was hard to write for the prescription of children’s books, but I learned about book publishing and expectation. A year later, I had the experience of being connected with a half-brother I did not know existed. A psychic reading had revealed a secret sibling six months before, but when he showed up, the joy and excitement was overwhelming. I was back at my desk writing about this experience using an open, honest, and free-flowing method. It felt wondrous.
I wrote about my new brother Matt and the exciting way he found me, our similarities, and differences. Within months, the story turned sad as he fought a terminal illness. I was devastated. I kept writing to process my feelings on this sudden rollercoaster ride. Finally, my relationship with Matt became otherworldly. As a psychic medium, I felt compelled to share what happened between us because I found it healing and, at times humorous. I wanted to share everything with the reader so when we got to the otherworldly stuff, it would be ok, like… “Of course, your dead brother was talking to you.” Spirit and the Afterlife are not usually talked about openly. I wanted to breach the boundaries of this conversation and create opportunities for discussion. (Find Book Club discussion questions on my website.)
Writing is a form of healing. When I did not know why I was writing, I just kept writing because it made me feel better. I look forward to sharing my journey from grief to joy with you.
