I just finished reading "Hello From Heaven" which I loved so much that I intend to get copies for friends. I've always felt that I have only one foot planted on Earth: my heart is still in my real home. A thought: my heart goes out to the parents of children who have died. One cannot long for or hope for an ADC. They just happen...or not. This is where FAITH comes in. KNOW that your child is with God. Believe it with all your heart. As the Guggenheims, and many others, have written: Love is ETERNAL and we will be together again. This lifetime is but a "blink of the Buddha's eye."

Thank you for your uplifting book. I lost someone very close to me in December 1996 when he was murdered. He was only 25. I still have good & bad days and some days it still just doesn't seem real. It was so comforting to read your book and know that there are others out there who can understand what it's like to lose someone you love and to grasp for any kind of hope that your loved one is still with you in some way. Your book gives me new hope all the time. My life will never be the same, but he will always live on in my heart, until we meet again. I love you & I miss you always.

On Valentines Day, 1997 my husband of 24 years died from cancer. Several hours after he died, I was sleeping and woke up because of phone ringing; I went back to sleep and right away I heard footsteps, thought it was my daughter coming home. I asked her later if it was her, it wasn't. When I thought more about it, I realized the footsteps sounded like my husbands. Late that night, I was reading the newspaper and smelled this odor several times. Thought my mind was playing tricks with me. It was my husbands smell!! I didn't tell anyone at first, figured they would think I am nuts! Several times I have smelt cigarette smoke, when there was no one around. I know it was him! Read your book, believe it was my husband letting me know he was around. Now, my one wish is to see him just one more time and I long for that more than anything.

After experiencing a loss in our family, I found the creation of GRATITUDE LISTS was the most helpful in overcoming a sense of loss. I put tablets in every room of the house. It took four months to fill all of them. You start with the most obvious things and work your way through to the very small things. A change in your thinking will happen and you will finally be able to accept the gift of that person so completely that the loss will be dwarfed by the gift.

This site and message board have become my life line! I live in a very remote part of Australia, and it's great to be able to talk about these things with other people for a change!

My son, Ryan died from a drowning accident in January of 1995. I have been fortunate enough to have heard from him many times over the past two years. He tells me he "wishes I could feel the warm love where he is" and that there "are no accidents... we planned this prior to this life to progress". And much, much more. If there is anything I can add, if you have lost someone you love, KNOW without a doubt that they are in the most loving space; they are surrounded by support and are busy with growth. KNOW that they feel your pain and grief and it hurts them to see you blame yourself or feel guilt. KNOW that everything is part of a plan for growth and the goal is unconditional love. I welcome anyone who needs to talk. I have been given many, many gifts. I hope to pass some of them along.
