The Distant Shore: Stories of Love and Faith in the Afterlife
Author Linda Hale Bucklin made a pact with her husband, Bill, to communicate after death. She shares her personal experience along with others’ of love and faith in the afterlife.
We all deal with our grief in different ways. Bill, my beloved husband of forty years, died unexpectedly after a short illness. During our years together, we made a pact that whoever passed first would communicate with the other.
As shocked and devastated as I was by Bill’s sudden departure, I came to accept that his not lingering was his final earthly gift to me. Moreover, he has honored our agreement, coming to me in dreams and through music.
From the afterlife, Bill’s guiding spirit shows me I am stronger than I think and has made me appreciate the beauty and wholeness of this life. I find unexpected riches everywhere, in my family, friends, nature, and dreams. I am comforted, knowing there is life after death, and that Bill and I will be together again.
I invite you to join me on an emotional journey as I share my very personal stories, as well as that of others’. May these personal and candid accounts bring you peace, comfort, hope, and assurance of the afterlife.
