Ep. 35 The After Life: Connecting with our Kids on the Other Side

Send us Fan MailEnjoy this enlightening conversation with bereaved dad, Joe McQuillen. Joe shares his spiritual transformation and the healing journey he began from the lessons he's learned regularly communicating with his beloved son Chris, who transitioned in January 2016. While Joe is quite active sharing his experiences with Chris, I have been quieter about my own communication with my daughter, Janaya, on the other side. Just like Chris has been with his dad from Joe's early time of bereavement, Janaya has been communicating with me from her very first hours after transitioning in July 2005.It was an absolute treat for me to share this time with Joe to talk about our experiences communicating with our children on the other side. We discuss what the After Life is like from our kids' perspective, the joys that this type of communication brings to us and how you can communicate with your child or other loved one on the other side if you long for this type of connection.TIMESTAMP:0:00    Welcome0:32    Meet Joe1:43    We want to know where our kids are after they transition4:20    Visits kept me alive5:04    Missing signs already there7:10    Joe loses Chris12:06 The other side is just a rice paper wall away 15:14  From believing to knowing17:46  Joe visits a medium24:34  Joe's message to parents who've lost kids28:58  Suicide - an added burden of guilt30:29  Heaven and what Chris says about it38:25  When Joe trusted his connection with Chris44:55  Chris's messages evolving47:33  Reincarnation and missing each other on the highway 49:10  A visit from Janaya in real life!53:06  The residual pain of our kids' visits59:29  Is the spiritual growth worth the loss?1:02:25  Not blaming God1:04:57  Exit points and soul contracts1:06:19  Connecting with your loved one and signs1:13:18  Surviving children1:16:26 Closing - your lost kids are still here!1:16:51  EndJOE'S RESOURCES:WebsiteBooks (by Joe)"My Search for Christopher on the Other Side" "We're Not Done Yet Pop: My Lessons from the Other Side"EmailMentions:Andrew Anderson Bob Olson Elizabeth Boisson James van PraaghVONNE'S RESOURCES:WebsiteBooks (by Vonne) “Lessons in Surviving Suicide – A Letter to My Daughter”“Divine Healing Transforming Pain into Personal Power – A Guide to Heal Pain From Child Loss, Suicide and Other Grief”“The Power of Change”Resources (Blog, Course & Meditations)🆕 📣 Text Me Fan MailYou can now text me directly about any episode.
