LIFE WITH GHOSTS: GRIEF HEALING

As a medium and paranormal investigator with many years of experience of communicating 

with the dead and have written a book, How to Talk With Spirits: Seances, Mediums, Ghost Hunts, 

I have learned that some people don't heal their grief for their dead loved ones -  

people and pets - resulting in a life time of unhappiness. 

            The documentary film below gives reasonable ways to heal grief with scientific 

and psychotherapy as well as parapsychology views on the grieving process.

PLAYING AUGUST 18 - 21 —  REGISTER HERE  

For Life With Ghosts screening/fundraiser. 

The next Life with Ghosts screening event consists of both a 4-day watch window 

and a LIVE Zoom Q&A with the filmmaker on Sunday, August 20^th at 8pm EDT. 

Don’t miss it!

The faces and voices of our deceased loved ones slip into our thoughts regularly and we find ourselves talking to them. But do you wonder if engaging in such behavior is good for us –– especially when so many mental health professionals tell us that continuing bonds with the dead is a form of denial? 

This new documentary film answers this question with tremendous insight and clarity. 

In this eleven-time award-winning documentary, a widow suffering prolonged grief volunteers for an unconventional study aimed to reconnect bereaved survivors with their departed loved ones. 

The unconventional new therapy is called Induced After-Death Communication and it’s rapidly gaining recognition among psychologist, academics and bereavement professionals.  

Life with Ghosts records the first publicly funded attempt to facilitate contact with deceased individuals to determine if such contact can be used to reduce severe grief symptoms and offer hope for the chronically bereaved. 

This weekend only!

DYING TO SHARE NDE: NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE

How'd you feel being rejected at the Pearly Gates 

and sent back to life on Earth?

When I had my near death experience (NDE) people just didn't talk about such "stranger than life" things.

I was in a series auto accident and died in the ambulance. I didn't talk about it for many years.

How can you tell people you went to heaven?

Although, there's a lot of stories about near death experiences NDE it's much more acceptable with more scientific studies and interest from those who have had such experiences and those interested in hearing about them.

What prompted me to write about NDE today was for two reasons: 1) I came across a story about a woman's story of dying, seeing the "other side" and returning. 

2) recently I've been asked to share my story for a group,  IANDS, which studies and sponsors on talks.

What would I share that would be of interest? I've thought about that. When interviewed to be a possible speaker I was asked if I saw a light at the end of a tunnel. No. But, I did enter into a field of brilliant white light surrounding dead relatives. Only, I didn't get to stay.

Boo hoo. But I did come back with a mission from this incredibly beautiful and peaceful, which I describe it in my book,
"How to Talk With Spirits: Mediums, Seances, Ghost Hunts."

After being waved away from the gates (really a fence) I awoke in the hospital and had a long road to physically and emotionally recover. I tucked my heavenly visit to the back of my mind. In a short time strange things began to happen in my life. Like knowing personal information about people I never met or in any way knew about.

Who am I now?


Still, with this new found interest it took more years to realize why I was sent back -what's my mission.

Mission purpose #1: Do some good for others. This led me to a career I'd never even thought of. Happily, I've been told numerous times I've completed that mission of assisting others to live in the light of themselves.

Have you had a NDE and would you share it? Would it be easy to tell others you've seen heaven, nirvana, the other side?

WICCAN DEATH RITUAL: PASSING OF A WITCH

Yesterday, I participated in my first Wicca Passing Ceremony and Ritual. 

 It was for Ellen, my beloved eldest sister—the first born of eight children and the first to die.

She was our coven's High Priestess.

Born into a Scottish Catholic family, Ellen had been a Wiccan and witch for the past fourteen years.

When a family funeral ceremony was being planned Ellen’s eldest daughter, also a coven member, said it was only proper that her mom have a Wiccan funeral.

It’s not the norm for Wiccans/pagans/witches to openly celebrate such events such as weddings, new child, or deaths in our way with the blessings or acceptance of family, society or other religions, 

We usually keep them private because of the misunderstanding or non-acceptance from those with different religious and spiritual practices. 

But I agreed because recently before her death Ellen had told me that she no longer would hide her Wiccan witch life and practices. It was decided our "send off to Ellen" would take place before the memorial celebration. I undertook the task of preparing a ceremony while keeping in mind that after our Wiccan Ritual and Ceremony, there’d be a Rosary in respect for our Catholic mother and relatives. 

The entire Scottish clan was invited. Ellen’s sisters and brothers, her children, grandchildren and a few select friends. Our mother, brothers and their families did not attend for their religious beliefs could not be crossed over.

As grieving family began to arrive at the Wiccan ritual each person was smudged before entering the chapel. Her coven, donned in capes, gowns, witch hats or flowed wreaths and the few grandchildren participating gathered around the casket while in the pews, guests sat.

Ellen laid quietly (she always was a quiet, watchful person in a crowd) in a forest-green cape and gown with a beautiful mother-of-peal shelled necklace.

An altar was set in front of her. It held a vase of white lilies (new life), chalice, salt, athame and various colored candles - including three image (people) candles: black for transition, white symbolizing her spirit transcending, and red for rebirth.

Frankincense and myrrh incense wafted lightly throughout the chapel. The four corners were called in and the circle was cast, the spell made fast and only good could enter therein.

Three of her grandchildren drummed and another rang a bell before a blessing of Ellen was said by one of her coven. Hallowed words were spoken over her as she was cleansed with a special incense, ocean water and oils.

A granddaughter dropped rose petals around the coffin. A sacred guided meditation was delivered followed by several Oms that vibrated throughout the room. The group sang the song, We All Come From the Goddess (Linda Lila) three times. 

The circle was closed. All held hands singing The circle is opened not unbroken, may the peace of the goddess be ever in your heart. Merry meet, merry part and merry meet.

It was truly magical holy ceremony fitting for a most respected High Priestess. So Mote it be.

She is greatly missed, her gentle guidance, her irreverent humor and her great, undying love! She inspired me in life and continues to commune in this world's death. Her spirit lives on.
