I’d say my “definitive guide” isn’t a single book or episode, but a core set of themes that run through everything I do:
- We’re souls first, humans second – consciousness continues, relationships don’t end, they change form
- Love and grief are inseparable: deep grief = deep love
- Grief isn’t a problem to fix, it’s a teacher and a catalyst for growth
- “Died” is the lie – death is a transition, not annihilation
- We likely participate in a pre-birth plan, giving meaning and context to even devastating losses
- Healing is practical: my GEMS framework (Gratitude, Exercise/Sleep, Mindfulness, Self-care) grounds the spiritual in everyday life
If you want one place to dive deep, I’d start with my Grief 2 Growth podcast and the Beyond the Veil Summit interview you referenced—those together give a pretty full picture of my philosophy on love, loss, and what comes next.
Is there a particular part of love and loss you’re wrestling with right now—continuing bonds, meaning, or just surviving the day-to-day?
