"Death is a Box of Crayons?"

"Death is like getting a box of crayons and a big fat coloring book in which to create the new beginnings of your next life." These words spoken to Linda Drake from "the other side" aptly summarize the premise of this enlightening book. For Linda Drake is an intuitive life path-healer whose work is often to connect her clients to their angels, guides, and loved ones who have passed over to the other side in what we commonly call death. Ultimately, that is the work of Spirit, that which connects us all to our true purpose in heaven.

Reaching Through the Veil to Heal does exactly that for thousands of men and women whose stories Drake shares with the reader. Meet the woman who has lived such a difficult life with a dysfunctional family and dying loved ones. It is her departed sister, whose children this woman is helping to cope, who reminds her that she needs to have less stress and darkness and to play more. Or read the account of parents whose children are now comforting them from the other side. There are many more similar and very different accounts herein, all weaving together a seamless picture of a realm where peace and joy are the true factors about "passing away."

These stories aren't told for the drama that might normally be associated with the exotic fascination men and women have with this unknown experience of death. They are stories directed to revealing one's divine purpose, the way to fully heal and release sorrow, the way to fully lived a purposeful life, the way to cope with losses of any kind not necessarily directly about death, the true karmic reasons for learning to consciously face the stages of death and dying (whether in a relationship or through physical death), and preparing for death but understanding it as a beginning rather than an empty, meaningless end.

Reaching Through the Veil is mystical, potent, sweet, and very, very practical in its approach that is bound to bring healing to every one who wisely chooses to read every page. Beautiful!!!
