We're Not Done yet, Pop: My Lessons from the Other Side
"Joe not only models total commitment to learning about his son's new state of being; he teaches what he has learned in this often-funny, often-poignant journey of discovery." ~ Suzanne Giesemann , Author of Messages of Hope and Still Right Here
"The Soul of Christopher McQuillen continues to explore and share with the readers of this new book. Christopher’s amazing father, Joe, serves to channel the messages and information that can help benefit and change the lives of others who are ready to listen." ~ Kevin Moore , Host of The Kevin Moore Show and the They Call US Channelers docuseries.
"It warms my heart to see men like Joe and Chris not only healing together, but being wayshowers [lightworkers] for so many parents, as illustrated in this amazing, new book from this father–son team." ~ Craig McMahon, TV Host, After-Life Expert, and Inventor of Spirit Radio
"Joe McQuillen's book is written by a professed ‘ordinary guy’ who has undertaken an extraordinary journey to find his son in spirit and thus lead a joyful, purpose-filled life. He is proof that spirit communication is available to all of us. The reader cannot help falling in love with them both."
~ Elizabeth Boisson , President and Co-Founder, Helping Parents Heal
Navigating the roads in his Jeep with a cigar, his beloved yellow lab, a Buffalo Bills folding chair in back, and a love of music and audio books which alternately pour from the speakers, Joe is the quintessential, hard-working, guy’s-guy who loves golf and a good steak, who sometimes makes “an Irish exit,” and who also happens to have a heart bigger than life itself. He is a devoted, loving dad to William and Caroline (and Christopher), and a supportive, caring husband to Sally. He is also a trusted friend to many.
Joe and Chris’s story, which is told as a mixture of narrative, italicized visits with Chris from the other side, input and conversations with respected psychic mediums, a thread of music floating throughout, is relatable to anyone who has either experienced loss or simply imagined it. Their words—father and son—speak directly to readers, providing courage, strength, hope, and connectivity—all delivered with a healthy dose of McQuillen humor. This book provides comfort and solace for all of us, reminding us life is precious, and that we can continue to find connection with our loved ones from both sides of the veil.
Joe has been married to his wife Sally for thirty years and is the father of three children. One (Christopher) is now on the other side. Joe was the youngest of ten children born into an Irish Catholic family. Although he has had two successful careers, Joe is at heart a blue-collar kid from Buffalo, New York. Joe is thirty-six years sober and a member of AA. In fact, that has helped him get close to God and to carry him through the dark times after Chris’s crossing. Unwilling to accept a world devoid of his dearly loved son Christopher, Joe began to research the metaphysical and seek out the answers to What happens next? Joe’s first book (Joe & Chris’s book), My Search for Christopher on the Other Side , tells the story of the journey of discovery over the first two years. His second book, We’re Not Done Yet Pop, My Lessons from the Other Side , takes his audience to the next level of discovery and awakening. On his new path, Joe often speaks to parents who have seemingly lost children. He hopes to bring them comfort and hope. After finishing his first book, Joe thought he was “one and done.” But Chris let him know, “We’re Not Done Yet, Pop,” and indeed they weren’t.

I love this book even more than the first. I feel Christopher’s message of hope land in my heart. I feel his strong spirit come through his Dad and there is solace to be found in knowing love is eternal.

In reading " We're not done yet Pop: My lessons from the Other Side" I found the information, messages and educational viewpoints totally inspiring and reassuring. The reader needs not have read the first book to understand the messages given, although I have read "My Search for Christopher on the Other Side". The messages that both the author and his son convey throughout this book are that there certainly IS an afterlife, the folks who have passed have an awareness of events occurring after they transitioned, love like energy does not die and our loved ones will most certainly greet us when our time comes-- including our pets. The most poignant observation I can express is the service aspect both Joe and Chris have in assisting grieving families, especially grieving Dads, allow their grief to be expressed. Knowing that grief is a continual process and that it is OK to grieve for more than a specific timeframe. Our grief for a loved one does not evaporate, we just learn to live with our grief and it changes although it remains. Joe had turned his grief into reaching out to his son and providing reassurance to others that this life is not all there is and we will see our loved ones again when it is our time to cross through the veil to the Other Side. This is critical information for us to know, not only to believe; to have faith and know it is true, that this life is not the end. Energy, our souls of you will, does not die or end it transforms but does not end. I read this book without putting it down because I wanted to know what Chris said next, what more information I could receive and incorporate into my own spiritual journey. Read this book and you will find yourself in a much more peaceful place than you were in before reading this book. Thank you Joe and Chris for opening your hearts to your readers.
