Product Description:
James Van Praagh, renowned medium and bestselling author, reveals how the devastating sorrow of a loss can lead to incredible opportunities for spiritual growth and bring a sense of renewal and focus to our lives. This deeply felt, wise, and compassionate book offers hope for a true healing of the mind and spirit, as we move beyond grief and loss-to a life of freedom, joy, and purpose.
Amazon.com Review:
World-renowned medium James Van Praagh (Talking to Heaven, Reaching to Heaven) says he has listened intensely for thousands of hours to 'the subtle whispers between our earthly world and the finer etheric world of spirit.' In writing this book on grieving, Van Praagh hopes to offer comfort and reassurance of eternal life, 'so that you do not have to go through the rest of your days groping blindly in sorrow and pain,' he explains. Yet Van Praagh also offers doses of his own hard-earned wisdom, keeping this guidebook firmly grounded in an earth-smart kind of reality.
Healing Grief is divided into four sections: The first part addresses 'The Process,' how humans cope with grief, including personal ruminations on the classic four stages. In part 2 Van Praagh speaks to 'When Someone You Love Dies,' offering specific essays on losing parents, grandparents, siblings, lovers, best friends. In part 3 he recognizes the numerous other losses that we grieve over--divorce, midlife crisis, losing a home or a job. In the final section Van Praagh speaks to reclaiming our lives, calling upon all that he believes of the after-life as well as listing specific rituals and activities that promote healing. Fans will appreciate his characteristically smooth writing style and the numerous fascinating anecdotes from his clients. --Gail Hudson

Very interesting. He sounds like a sincere person. He is the most believable medium I have seen on TV and his books are convincing.

This is an excellent book for people who have suffered any loss at any stage of their lives and have difficulty in coming to terms with it. You feel more postive about grief after reading this book and you should be better equipped to deal with future loss and to find more meaning in your life,

James Van Praagh is able to cover all aspects of loss in life, from death of a loved one to loosing a job. I found it extemely helpful for many expierences in my life and also for those I may face in the future.

There are some excellent books to read if you are suffering from grief, but this isn't one of them. It is missing the ring of truth, but even if you do believe Van Praagh (a big hurdle for me), it's very awkwardly written in that it tries to cast him as some sort of bereavement counselor, which doesn't work, at least not for me. Instead read Closer to the Light by Melvin Morse, M.D. (which gives examples of near death experiences of children) and Hello From Heaven by Bill and Judy Guggenheim (which ... Read More
