It inspired me to have an open mind about the possibility that after our body dies, our consciousness continues – and that communication with those who have died could be possible. The author seemed very believable in her hesitancy to accept that she has special sensory skills that allow her to be a conduit for messages from those who have passed on to “the other side.” It is a hopeful book.
This book was a joy to read. I enjoyed the backstory and all the real life examples of readings and circumstances. It was very thought provoking and inspirational.
I read this shortly after losing my partner/spouse of 40+ years. Was very reassuring and helpful on many levels. I thank her for sharing her insight and so many stories from others.
Psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson shares her own life experiences, as well as stories about her ability to communicate with the deceased, in this touching memoir. Initially skeptical of her own abilities, she even participated in scientific studies to help better understand herself and her abilities. Now, she uses her “gifts” to help others overcome the loss of their loved ones.
Oh my gosh. This audiobook took me on an emotional roller coaster! Ms. Jackson’s stories made me gasp in astonishment, laugh out loud, and cry. Ever since my mom died 1.5 years ago, I’ve been more interested in spirits and mediums, so after hearing about this book from a friend (thank you, Vivian!), I thought I’d give it a try. I’m still not sure whether or not I believe in psychics and mediums, but I don’t not
believe, and my mind is open to the possibilities.
Audiobook
Inspirational, especially if you are dealing with grief from a death of a loved one.
I loved the idea that the author submitted to blind testing of her ability. And that there is an institution that does this.
As a retired physician, I have often thought about the thin line between being alive and not being alive. I held my own 85 year-old mother in my arms as she died; it was a “good death” and I was so glad I could be there for her….and me. As a family physician , I stood at the bedside of quite a few of my patients as they left this life and entered the next. Some of my patients had endured near-death-experiences which defied explanation and told me about them. We all read Kubler-Ross in medical school, but there have been double-blind placebo controlled studies done on what it is to die; by definition, such a study is impossible.
So for the 30 years I was in medicine, I often pondered the alive/not alive question. What’s it like “over there”? And, brought up as a Catholic, I had much dogma in my belief system; for example: if you commit suicide, you will go to hell for “playing God”…..
So I wrangled with this book. Do I believe that this person (and other people) can actually communicate with the dead, provide a link to their loved ones, help heal decades of hurt unfinished feelings? Her story is very convincing, and her “accuracy rating” in the communications is amazingly high, if the data is true. One wonders, these days. She and others were in quadrupled-blinded sessions and she was able to communicate with the dead.
So I approached it: is believing it a type of blasphemy? Does it matter if it is? What further proof do I (and everyone else, I’m sure) need? The thing I found so comforting is that no matter what the cause of death, no matter how dysfunctional the relationships were with survivors, the deceased was never unhappy or in pain. The deceased communicated through love. No mention was made of seeing God, angels, devils, or suffering. It reminds me that even though God made hell, He doesn’t have to put anybody there.
I have no answers, but the author’s well-told story was a pleasurable and comforting. Five stars for taking me out of my comfort zone.
We’ve all thought about what happens after a lived one passes. This helps me realize that I’m not crazy … the signs are real. The book heightened my awareness and brought comfort.
One of the best our book club has read!
This is a great book, well written. I highly recommend it.
Always a strong believer in the spirits that help and guide us, this book shows how close we are to the spirit world
Describes the author’s connection with the other side and dealing with her “gift” as she grew up and making sense of her purpose. Her stories differ when she does personal readings but they are all tied with a common thread of that the other side is right with us and loved ones and pets that pass are never far away.
Amazing book
Making husband read to understand this is real.
Not only is this book about the author’s experience, but also contains clear information about the realm of those who have Crossed Over. She has had amazing experiences and has used her “gift” generously to help others get in touch with their deceased loved ones.
Good book.
Would definitely read more of her books.
Excellent book which I highly recommend page turning intriguing story.
Quick read. Good antidotes.
An amazing story of how one woman discovered and developed her psychic abilities and how she realized her mission to help many suffering people by connecting them with those who have passed over. If you are not a believer, you will be by the time you finish this amazing book!
This is a wonderful book by a medium who describes her life, how she came to realize her gift and shares lots of stories about people who were helped by her gift.
