I cried and I laughed. I recommend this book to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. I have read many books on the subject of grief, and I have to say, this one helped heal something inside of me.

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to connect with a loved one who passed away? Better yet, have you ever experienced communication with a deceased loved one? If so, then you’re not alone.

In Closer Than You Think, Deborah Heneghan recounts her own experiences communicating with her sister who passed away, and provides firsthand accounts from dozens of others who’ve had similar experiences. Deborah writes of receiving guidance from her deceased sister Kathy–who died when they were both teenagers–when she desperately needed it. While the concept of after-death communication might sound a little far-fetched to some, the highly personal and comforting nature of each story in the book has made me a believer.

I got this book as my 30th birthday gift - a week from my mother's death. I read a bad translation of it and after many pages trying to explain the idea it was difficult to get a message. A person having such an immense loss it is hard to follow the so called signed described in the book. It gives the sense of psychological obsession and makes me get deeper into grief and sorrow.

This was nothing new but a good short book on the subject. I may try some of her ideas. I would have like to have heard more of her story of contacting her sister.
