Matthews serves as a vessel of hope for those who wish to communicate with their loved ones in spirit. He takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotional stories, and also teaches step-by-step methods for recognizing communications from beyond.
So I have to admit that I am really questioning my current interest in psychics/mediums and my family in heaven. However, I have been feeling so much more at piece after reading and experiencing more in this area. To me this book again helped me to process my feelings about my deceased family. I think about it every day. I still struggle when processing my feelings. So reading that people are in contact and are helping others feel peace makes me happy as peace about death is what I search for.
I have read many books about grief, the afterlife, and connections with the spirit realm. However, this has been the most comforting and genuine of them all. The author’s main focus is on carrying on that relationship even after your loved one has left its physical vessel behind. I’d recommend this book to anyone.
Saying goodbye to a loved one through death is the hardest part of losing them. Medium Patrick Mathews says we do not have to however. He tells readers they’re still around and don’t leave like often believed. They want our company as much as we want theirs, he says. To connect with our departed loved ones, we only need to learn how.
Mathews shares among other things, examples of communicating with people’s departed. These aide any doubts about his claims. His overall approach is warm and comfortable, which helps establish feelings of trust as well. Additionally, Mathews explains in other chapters how he discovered his gift, conversations he’s had with those who’ve passed, his insight, opinions, and more. He ends his book with tips for readers and other information to help them connect with their loved ones and a few humorous personal realities.
A comforting read for those missing those now on the other side.
I read this book a few years ago after my Granny and Paw-Paw passed away. I had heard Patrick Matthew's on the radio and was completely blown away by him so I decided to check out this book. It has been awhile since I read it but the basic concept is that the people we love never really leave us. Most of the book is told through stories of peoples loved ones coming through and communicating messages through Matthew's and the different ways those that have crossed over choose to communicate with us. I'm really into this belief so I really enjoyed this book but if you are too close minded or don't share my beliefs I don't think this is the book for you. You should know that this book does get fairly corny in places but I got a lot out of it.
I have read a lot of books about communication from the other side, whether they're written by mediums or not. What sets this book apart is that while it deals with how to grieve effectively, its basic premise is that we never have to feel that our relationship with someone who has passed on is over. This is something that I needed to hear in this particular moment. Also of note was that the medium deals with suicide and also GLBT issues in a small way. This is not my favorite book on the subject but I'm not sure what it lacks. I was happy that GLBT issues came up. There were some things about it I would do differently, as a fellow medium, but isn't that always the case?
I recommend this book to those who have lost someone and is still grieving. With the loss of my mom last year and the loss of another special someone, Patrick's books is exactly what I needed. He made me sure that my mom will always be by my side and not to feel silly for talking to her out loud. Because she will hear me and in her own way answer me. I can truly appreciate his gift and I"m looking forward to reading his recent novel.
Very interesting and light. Lent it out as I finished it to a waitress at a restaurant I frequent who had just told me about her nephew's death. I don't know her name but I know she will return the book and we will have a great discussion. I recommend this book as a good first book on meditation, mediums, etc.
This was a great book. I enjoy the author's writing style and conversational tone. A lot of information that I took to heart. It was a comfort really as I hope to be able to communicate with my son. The grieving process is long and hard, and even though your heart tells you that love never goes away and we will be together again, you still miss them so much.
This book brought me answers and comfort after the loss of my husband. Patrick Matthews is a compassionate writer who weaves his experiences into a guide for those who have lost loved ones.
We are always being told that once our loved ones die we must stop talking to them and let them go on with their journey. It's nice to have it confirmed that our loved ones are always with use, guiding us with our personal journeys and wanting us to know that they are happy. To have that gift to converse with those who have crossed over is a special talent
