Ep. 239: He Talks to His Late Wife Every Day — And She Wrote a Book With Him

from Everything & Anything...and a bit gay Podcast · host Zach Randes-Friedman

Tim Bair is the author of Ever Near, a memoir and spiritual account of his ongoing relationship with his late wife Marilyn, who passed away from gastric cancer in 2017. Beginning just one week after her death, Tim began hearing Marilyn's voice — first audibly during a walk, then through what became a practice of writing letters together. That collection of letters, now numbering over 400, forms the foundation of his book series. In this episode, Tim talks about how their bond transcended physical life, how Marilyn helped him through years of chronic pain from a spinal injury, and what she has shared about her experience on the other side — including teaching classes in the spirit realm on how to communicate with living loved ones. Tim also offers a gentle framework for anyone who has lost someone: starting with grief, moving toward nostalgia, and simply allowing the possibility that connection might continue. Ever Near is available on Amazon. Tim is currently working on his second book in the series. https://a.co/d/08eLmOkq Podcast song by SIXFOOT 5: https://www.sixfoot5prod.com Apple: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/sixfoot-5/1551774977 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5rHMzoU0G0fLhaBsrQiOOY?si=laSZ5hiKTYubJJyhrzf2JQ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
