It has been estimated that over 70 million people from all walks of life and all areas of the globe have experienced a reunion with a loved one from the afterlife, according to author Lee Lawson. "Why then are these visitations usually kept secret, told to a very few trusted friends or to no at all?" she asks. In breaking the silence, Lawson offers great solace and companionship for readers who have received a visitation or deeply yearn for one. Not only does she provide well-researched and sensitive overviews of why visitations occur--often to comfort or guide the living--she also offers numerous personal stories of visitations from around the world. Indeed, it is hard not to weep over these tender accounts written in the first person. Yet the tears are not of sadness, since the stories are all framed within a context of joy and gratitude, having discovered that even after the loss of a loved one, there is still an everlasting connection. Chapters include "Grief: To Soothe a Grieving Heart," "Returning: A Sacred Promise," and "Making Peace: Forgiveness and Reconciliation."
