True stories of hope and healing!In November 2019, Craig McMahon released the first documentary in his Life to Afterlife Spirituality Series, "Mom, Can You Hear Me?" The documentary reached a circle far wider than any anticipated. The parents who participated had all experienced the passing of a child and had moved forward towards healing. All were members of Helping Parents Heal, a nonprofit organization that provides support and resources for parents and families who have experienced the unthinkable. They shared their stories with Craig to allow others to know that they can also heal. However, there was more to these parents' stories than made it into the film.In Life to Afterlife - Helping Parents Heal, The Book, these parents join forces again to relate precisely what has helped them on their healing journeys. This book is not a sad one. Instead, it is filled with magical signs and validations that our children send us every day. Our kids in spirit are still right here. They are with us every step of the way and hold our hands as we walk this healing path.If you have a child who has transitioned, please join us as we navigate this new way of living, one filled with gratitude, compassion, and love.

Life to Afterlife is the roadmap to healing after the transition of a loved one, especially a child. The validations allow the reader to to think about messages they might have recieved from the other side of the veil. A must read for everyone who wants to understand the language of spirit.
