Summary: Comforting for those going through a grieveing process
Review: I can't say enough good things about this book. I know how profound grief can be after losing a loved one or even a pet that I've had a "special" connection to. Getting past the grief isn't easy, and the ageless response, "I gets easier with time . . ." makes me wonder who's fooling who? My eyes still swell when I think of those who've passed on, and the grief is as fresh as yesterday, even thirty years later. I like giving this book as a gift, to friends who are going through troubling times or who have lost their perspective on life. This book HELPS, it reaches down to the deepest part of one's soul and shines a light of HOPE, that everything will be okay . . . just take one day at a time. I've noticed a positive change in the people I've given this book to. It has also helped me, in my saddest hours. There is wisdom, love, forgiveness and comfort in the words of this book. I highly recommend this book for those stricken with grief, or who are going through difficult times.

Summary: Comforting, offers hope & enlightment at times of sadnes
Review: I first read this book about two years ago. I bought it for a friend who had lost their mother. I bought myself a copy because they enjoyed it and found so much comfort in George Anderson's words. I recently reread parts of this book because of a tragic loss of a dear friend to suicide. The chapter that deals with this difficult situation, was of real comfort to me. Some people may not "believe" but for me, the idea that a person can be in a better place, and is not forever punished for their act leaves me feeling peace. I do believe in the other side, and that we can be contacted by those who have passed, and George's sessions with clients, who have had their own experience with hearing their loved ones words, is enlightening and offers hope. This book rates 4 stars.

Summary: GEORGE ANDERSON....AMAZING!
Review: My sister and I had a reading in the summer of 98 via phone with Mr. Anderson that changed my life. I was very cynical in the belief of life after death since the passing of my mother 4 years ago. I had seen countless psychics and mediums, and none impressed me at all. That is until Mr. Anderson. The only way he could have told us the things he did was if he was truly in communication with my mother, and I have no doubts that she was there.... George Anderson has reaffirmed my belief that there is more to this world and that there is indeed an afterlife. He is much more impressive that James Van Praagh, and I like Mr. Anderson more because he is less showy and has a terrific sense of humor. By all means read this book, it will change your life. If you've lost someone dear, it will comfort you tremendously.

Summary: A personal experience
Review: When a dear friend of mine lost her 15 year old daughter 10 years ago, we both began searching for answers and we read the first two books about Mr. Anderson eagerly and found both answers and comfort. When I lost my beloved dad 6 years ago, I happened to be invited to a local TV talk show by the same friend to see George Anderson. Somehow, even though we were very late, we were squeezed in and during an open session, the "someone " who recently lost a loved one was narrowed down to me! It was short but yet he touched on the most important aspects of my father and through my tears I was most grateful. I had taped the show and my mother and brothers were astounded at what they saw. I recently experienced a suicide in my family that has devastated all of us and once again I turned to George Anderson's latest, and I think best, book. This book is excellent. It really can help anyone to try to understand and cope with the unthinkable...the unbearable loss of a loved one. I am sending my mother a copy of this book because I know it will bring her as much comfort and acceptance as it has brought me.
