We Are Their Heaven

My ex-colleague and career mentor, Linda, recommended me this book, We Are Their Heaven; Why The Dead Never Leave Us by Allison DuBois. Allison is a medium who can communicate with the dead (the book calls them people who have crossed over) and the book chronicles her experiences helping the living receive messages from the nether world.


The book has stories about spouses who have died before their partners, about children dying before their parents, about parents dying before their children, about murdered victims and about suicides. A common message which the dead would want to communicate to the living is to live happily because we are their heaven. The dead never leave us because they want to see family and friends whom they love live life happily after their passing. They may not be physically around to communicate but they do partake in our happiness.


Allison devoted a section on suicides; people who have died from suicide often do so due to chemical imbalances in their brain. They experience so much emotional pain that they see death as the only solution. Often after death, their spirits gain much more clarity than they were alive. Although they express regret and grief at their loss of lives, their spirits never felt freer.


An interesting concept which Allison brought up was how the dead do sometimes communicate with us or enable events to unfold in such a way that creates happiness.


I am leaving for Sydney on 05 Feb (Tuesday) onboard the Airbus A380. My family was on the waiting list since December and we had given up all hope of spending Chinese New Year overseas. Even the Gold90 morning radio show reported that all tickets out of Singapore during Chinese New Year had been fully sold. Somehow, the travel agent who had put us on wait list decided to submit our request again and we finally got our tickets two weeks ago! It was truly by sheer luck that my family and I are leaving for Sydney; I believe people in my family who have crossed over are looking out for us.
