For my Child in Heaven

And my Children on Earth

You will embark, he said, on a fair sea,
and at times there will be fair weather,
But not always
You will take it in turns to steer
your boat through fair weather and foul.
Never lose courage.

Daphne du Maurier

My profound thanks go to my friend Cindy McEnry who gave me her insight, comfort, and encouragement and made me laugh out loud when I could barely smile. To Katharine Spencer McEnry who inspired me, and to Gail Meltzer who listened and spent hours reading and editing the contents of this book and filled me with confidence.

Foreword

Patrick Mathews

A s a medium, I feel blessed in being able to help people by connecting them with their loved ones in spirit. My main goal in doing so is to not only prove to them that there is life after life for their loved ones who have passed, but for them to also understand that those in spirit will always continue to be a part of their lives.

Once a person breaks down the self-barrier they create after the passing of a loved one, another connection can be made and with that, the continuation of the relationship with a loved one in spirit will transpire.

There are many ways spirits will make their presence known, each depending on the situation of their loved ones here as well as their own abilities as spirits.

I am sure that any person in spirit would like nothing better than to be able to just appear to loved ones here and say, Hi, here I am! I am still very much alive and well and I will always be with you. But that is just not how this classroom we call life was designed.

This is why spirits are able to only give certain specific signs to their loved ones here, as they do not want to interfere with the spiritual growth their loved ones are destined to have. And these signs and connections can come in many forms, each specific to that individuals wants and needs.
