The Homicide Survivor's Healing Journey | Dr. Jan Canty

from Life, Death & The Space Between with Dr. Amy Robbins

In 1985, my guest's husband left for work and never came home. Ten days later, she identified his body parts in a Detroit morgue. She also discovered he'd been living a secret double life. Dr. Jan Canty is a psychologist who spent 30 years in silence—until a podcast for homicide survivors brought her back. The night he went missing, Jan looked in a mirror and heard herself say, "He's dead. He's not coming home." She buried that moment for decades. Today, she helps others heal through after-death communication and community. This episode aired on July 20th—the exact day Jan learned her husband had been murdered. That synchronicity is not lost on me.00:00 The Night He Never Came Home 03:05 Introducing Dr. Jan Canty 04:05 The Phone Call from Homicide 05:06 The Double Life She Never Knew 07:38 Identifying Him in the Morgue 10:40 Survival Mode and 30 Years of Silence 14:47 What Makes Homicide Grief Unique 17:25 The Detective Who Saved Her 22:26 How She Clawed Her Way Out 26:51 The Spiritual Pivot: After-Death Communication 29:18 Her Own Experience: "He's Dead.
