Heaven & Beyond

Although this is a very wonderful book, I feel I have to let you know that the information in this book were edited to the point that some of the TRUE stories are not so accurate. I was very disappointed because one of the stories was my mother's own story about my contact with the other side. It was changed enough that I almost didn't recognize that it was her story. We do have the ability to contact those that have crossed over to the next life, but, I am very sorry for the inaccuracy of the information given in this book due to unnecessary editing. God Bless.

Heaven and Beyond is a lovely book of insightful information to help all of us as we go through illness, our own or a loved ones, and our natural transitions from this earthly realm to a higher, more beautiful realm in Heaven. So many families go through the caregiving phase doing the best they know how to do and sometimes with no help in sight. Realizing that help is available everywhere if we just ask for it, is many times the hardest thing to see. Sometimes the caregiver does not realize how much better the quality of care would be with a little time out to restore their energy to themselves that such a close relationship requires... because the very word caregiver tells us that this is a close loving relationship and the caregiver role is very complicated in it that so many emotions, thoughts , memories and hopes and desires for the present as well as the future are present, and also incorporated into this situation is all of the daily stuff one must also try to accomplish... and attention to all of the other family members as well...so our plate is full and we really want to do this and now we must step aside and let our hearts see what is best for our loved ones and when we realize that death is not the end and truly a new beginning we can let compassion fill our hearts and let our loved ones go if that is their wish...only out of our sight but still connected to us in all ways...always because God has told us so...because He loves us. The caregiver definitely needs time to recover the energy that is sent to their loved one and this is the time to learn about Hospice Care. Hospice care is devoted to letting the normal stages of our transition take place but with attention to the dying loved ones needs. This is truly a very difficult time because by the time we get to this stage we desperately need help because all of our resources of energy and coping skills are gone. It is hard for us to think that our loved one will soon be out of our sight but they are only gone from their earthly existence to their eternal spiritual existence which is forever. So by leading with compassion and understanding and the training that the special Hospice nurses bring our loved ones don't have to suffer one more moment and this is the gift of love from all of the special Angels...the Hospice nurses...we love you all! This message to Barbara and Trudy is a beautiful message to share with us that we are never alone...ever...and even though it may seem so at times all help surrounds us...for Gods lovely Angels are always here and all we have to do is ask! Blessings of Gods love and light and all the Angels embrace the messages shared in this book. Believing it will make it so. How things are brought into our awareness are really not so surprising if we remember that we are always connected to God through His lovely Angels of Light and that when we on earth are ready to step up to another level of understanding all pathways will open for His love to arrive.

This is an interesting little book that brings to light that our loved ones are not as far away as we sometimes believe. I have read the other books by Barbara and Trudy, and have been successful with their techniques. This book uses the same techniques that the authors have outlined in the past to contact your angels or spirit guides, but this time teaches how to contact those we love in spirit. Included in the book, are also many personal stories of contact. I tried the techniques right after I read the book, and was able to contact 5 people that were very meaningful in my life. It was interesting because there was a distinct "voice" to each one. Still skeptical, but armed with my written pages of contact, I had a meeting with a Medium the next day. Sure enough, she brought through a few of the people that I had contacted, gave me the same messages that I had received myself, and even used the same language and nicknames that I had received in the contact. That was enough confirmation for me! This book is also a wonderful gift to give to someone that is in the process of grieving. It is uplifting and gives a way for the grieving to reach out and find some peace. This book combined with a lovely journal would make a great gift.
