Embraced by the Light, by Betty J. Eadie - changed my life

So to keep posts short and as quick reads and to the point.... I wrote a separate post on the loss of my mother at 13 years old, in 1993.  These 2 posts go hand in hand.

I finished reading "Embraced by the light" last weekend and I needed it to settle before I was able to put thoughts into words.

When you lose a loved one, it creates this emptiness inside.... it creates a void.... because that person filled a portion of your heart with their love.... and you realize that this source of love is no longer alive.

You have a million and 1 thought go through your mind.... most of them questions of why.... some negative thoughts.... and sometimes in those circumstances.... it's very difficult, even sometimes it feels impossible to find closure.

This book has brought healing to my life.

My dad first read it over a weekend, he received the book from a friend who had recently lost her mom to cancer.

He devoured the book.  For the first time in a long time, I can see that he has accomplished some healing.  There's something different in his eyes.... a little less pain... and even though he doesn't talk about mom alot.... the "secret tension" seems to have diminished.

He called me excitedly and asked me to go online and order several books, so that he could share them with my sister and I and a few other people.

I, in turn read the book in 2 sittings.... I laughed, I gasped, I cried, I felt pain, and I felt relief.  And finally.... felt at peace.

Without going into too much details and give the book's meaning away... everyone who's lost a loved one, needs to read this book.... it's a quick read, big print, and big message.  It is not for a specific religion, and I hope it brings you the same feeling of peace and closure as it has for our family.

I've mentioned to my husband that he may want to read it sometime, but at the same time, if you or your loved ones haven't experienced this.... it may be more difficult for them to relate to the book.  And so, it's good to keep it on hand for later.... or to share with another friend who may also have lost a close one.

Thank you Betty J Eadie for sharing your experience and writing your book.... I'm definitely looking forward to your next one.

I hope your journey in life is full of little miracles and messages.  I also wish you love and patience during your struggles and speedy recoveries.... don't linger too long in pain and misery, they are difficult addictions to break, and you could be missing out on alot of wonderful things in life.

Love Always,
D
