An open forum for things of the heart

I recently lost someone so dear to me and had a visitation experience so real. I wondered if others had similar experiences. This book offered similar stories ..it offered a forum for speech and sharing that is typically not accepted or respected in our mainstream daily lives. My story, like many others, are very real to us and it is so wonderful to be able to share them with others. Everyone loves to hear a love story, and in this book you get so many of them ..they're all love stories, that's how I view them. They're all messages of love from the otherside. I have come to realize that our worlds (after life and now) are "leaky" ..we can sometimes hear, see, or feel one another. It was nice being able to listen to others' accounts. How awful it would be if we couldn't share this information. Thank you so much for this book. I want to give back by offering my own story in the next book to come.

Reassuring and Evocative

I have just read Visitations from the Afterlife twice. The first time I was drawn to read each story marveling at the variety and yet at the same time the similarities as each account unfolded. Afterwards I returned to this rare and deeply evocative book to read it more slowly and listen to the first instructions I have ever found believable about the mystery that is death. Lee Lawson's exquisitely sensitive and yet openly accepting collection of personal accounts of love's endurance beyond death is not to be ignored. This book is a must read for anyone who doubts that the soul lives on, who is grieving and wondering about the meaning of death, who is afraid to live life fully in preparation for the ultimate leap of faith we call dying. Lee's paintings are equally evocative and provide the reader with food for the soul. I wonder how many of us have been diagnosed as hallucinating, as heretics, or worse yet as mad because there was no one to listen as we spoke our tales of wonder and mystery about hearing or seeing or being led by a loved one who has died? Thank you Lee for listening to Harry when he led you to gather these stories and write this much welcomed book.

Healing Visitations

Lee Lawson's "Visitations from the Afterlife/True Stories of Love and Healing" is indeed a special book that will open up hearts; touch buried memories; and enrich lives through the soul and spirit. The true stories submitted to her anthology are from around the world; they speak of the universal longing inside and tell us that we are not alone in our visitations by loved ones who've crossed over. It's illuminating to learn it's a more common occurance than we've ever realized.Her book allows us the freedom to express our unique experiences at long last. She gives us permission to discuss our private memories with family and friends and all without the guardedness we've hidden behind thinking we were alone in our visitations. Bravo to Lee for enlarging our spiritual awareness; giving credence to our experiences; and acknowledging what we've always known: Love is eternal and love will heal a broken heart.I guarantee the reader will be touched by these revealing love letters and heartfelt stories, if not healed in the process. The reader also gets to enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Lee's artwork from the front cover--throughtout the book.

Intelligent,Inspiring and Comforting

It was a great pleasure to read Lee Lawson's book. Not only was it intelligent and inspiring, but it speaks of great truth, the kind of truth that heals the broken heart. I would recommend it to anyone who is experiencing grief. Not only does it provide comfort, but it changes the paradigm of loss. It emphasizes the eternal quality of love. And love, after all, is the best thing we having going for us.I am a psychotherapist and will recommend it to my clients, as well as my friends and colleagues.I must also add I have long been a fan of Ms. Lawson's art and it was a treat to see reproductions of her paintings at the beginnings of the chapters and on the cover.

KEEP "VISITATIONS" CLOSE BY FOR DAILY INSPIRATION

This lovely and inspirational collection of heartwarming stories takes all the sting out of "death". There is so much love and peace and joy in this book. Everyone on this earth has experienced the pain of "losing" a loved one. This book proves, over and over, again, that love is never lost, and that death is only a graduation. It is a study in communication.
