Is connection with loved ones who have passed possible?And is it also possible to continue that relationship between a person still here in body, and that loved one across the veil?
Do we take the love with us when we "die"?
Vickie, Carrie, Kim and Sarina are four women who each experienced loss and faced the fire of grief. They also began to have incredible afterlife communication soon after their loved ones passed, driving them to ask more questions about what exactly they were experiencing, and how this connection was even possible.
Incredibly, they found each other along the way and learned their journeys were not very different. In fact, they each would say now that it was this divine connection that led them to finding their own healing, love and purpose.

Vickie Hays established a career as a paralegal and law office manager while raising four children and completing her college degree. The sudden loss of her son, Justin, and the events that followed, forced her to question her logic-based thinking that she had developed while working in the legal field. During the days and weeks that followed her son's passing, she discovered that not only was Justin still with her, but that she was able to communicate with him. As Vickie was grieving, she began volunteering for a non-profit horse ranch that provides services to military veterans. It was while volunteering that she was reunited with her childhood friend, the Horse. She was delighted to learn how the unique Horse energy lends an environment for holding space and aids in emotional healing. Vickie, with Justin's guidance, now focuses on healing with horses, and has a special interest in working with the military veteran community. She is a medium and Reiki Master, enjoys reading, gardening, and being in nature. She lives in Northern Michigan near her daughters and their families. Carrie Hackwelder-Longo has always lived along the shores of the Allegheny River in Western Pennsylvania, bouncing between multiple neighborhoods in Pittsburgh and several rural towns seventy miles north. Originally dreaming of having the life of a metropolitan jetsetter, she has finally come to appreciate the beauty of the hills and valleys, love between small-town neighbors, and the bountiful gifts from the Universe found in the area. Although Carrie currently teaches middle school level English and reading (and loves it), it is her role as a student that is most defining-whether it be immersing herself in poetry and prose, or, more importantly, learning life's lessons from being a human among other humans on this earth. As a lifelong learner, Carrie has worked for years meditating and preparing to connect with Spirit. She also continues to grow and learn from those who are far more experienced. Using wisdom from loved ones and guides merged with a background in writing, Carrie hopes to share her journey with others. She often chuckles when she recalls her father asking what she would ever do with a degree in English writing... thank goodness Spirit knew all along.
Review :
Finding Love and Purpose is a magnificent example of how our loved ones connect with us after their passage. Numerous events described by each author provide exquisite validation of the afterlife. Heartfelt examples of grief transformed into love create a magical feeling of clarity and support. This book is highly recommended for all those grieving the loss of loved ones. Experience the joy and awareness of how to continue your relationship with loved ones living beyond.
