      This book was very short and not very informative. I just think maybe things could have been explained further and maybe a little more descriptive too. I guess for me it just didn't say anything that I didn't already know. I do however believe he has a wonderful gift and I would love to attend one of his events, the book I just expected more from.

    Introduction

    As I See It

    I am a psychic medium, and, as such, my work involves trying to help people come to terms with the death of a loved one, overcome their own fear of death, and resolve any questions or issues they may still have about the one who has died.

    I am able to do this because I know that the spirit lives on after the death of the physical body, and I am able to contact and communicate with those in spirit so that I can deliver their messages to their living loved ones.

    Of course, there will always be skeptics who doubt my ability to do what I do, and very often, it is religious leaders who are the most vociferous in their condemnation of my work. This confuses, amuses, and often angers me, since virtually all cultures and religions, from the beginning of time, have had some form of belief in an afterlife. The Book of the Dead, for example, the holiest of Egyptian religious texts, provides instructions for funerary practices, prayers, spells, and rituals designed to ensure the survival of the soul. The ancient Egyptians believed that after death, everyone first entered the underworld to be judged and tested in order to determine whether they went on to a state of eternal bliss or to the Egyptian equivalent of hell.

    While there are differences in detail among the various Christian sects, one thing upon which all Christians agree is that there is an afterlife and that where we go after we die depends upon how we conducted ourselves while we were alive. To some degree, the same could be said of Buddhists, who believe in karma, a cycle of death and rebirth through which we are meant to increase our spirituality and learn to release our desire for earthly things. The Buddhist goal is to escape the cycle of reincarnation and attain a permanent state of Nirvana.

    Although my mother was Jewish, I was raised a Catholic, and many of my own beliefs and rituals are based upon the teachings of the Catholic Church. But I also believe that whatever path anyone follows, all roads lead to the same destination—the survival of the soul after death.

    My psychic understanding of what happens when we die differs from that of most religious or cultural belief systems in that I know from personal experience that those in the spirit world can and do continue to be aware of and communicate with those of us who are still alive.

    While various ancient religious texts refer to God or a god appearing on earth at a specific time in order to deliver a particular message to man, none talks about the ability that we each have within us to give and receive messages to and from those who have passed on.

    The vast majority of my work as a psychic medium involves helping the living to communicate with the dead. Clients come to me after someone important in their life has passed on, because they feel there is some unfinished business between them. Perhaps the death was sudden and they didn’t have a chance to say good-bye. Perhaps the person who is living has caused pain to the one who died (or vice versa), and the survivor wants or needs to give or receive absolution to or from the dead. Or it might simply be that the death of a loved one has left the living in so much pain that he or she needs to be reassured of the soul’s survival in order to get through the grieving process and move on with life.

    My goal in this book is to help you, the reader, make peace with the death of your loved ones. You will see, as you read on, that each death is unique, everyone grieves differently, and the best way to get through our grief after someone dies is to know that he or she lives on in the world of spirit, that our loved one is at peace, and that all he or she wants is for us to be happy and move on with our lives.

    Death Is a Process

    When people are seriously ill over a period of time, they begin to come to terms with death while they are still living. If they are ill, they often start out hoping or expecting that they will recover. They may think they’re going to beat the disease or condition, or they may hope for a reprieve or a divine miracle. At some point, however, they realize that there won’t be any reprieve, they’re not going to get better, and they either become resigned to the situation or they fight against their fate.

    Those who fight fate are most often afraid because they don’t know what happens when we die, and so they cling desperately to life. I believe that this is often the situation when people
