As much as I'm eagerly anticipating what's to come after I die, I enjoy life here. All our children were adults and out of the house long before Irene died. Yes, the first four or five months after Irene died were extremely bad, and the world had gone black and everything was painful, and I couldn't enjoy anything. Immediately after she died I began basically doing psychological reprogramming on myself - affirmations, visualizations, deliberate internal narratives, various ot

After Scott’s death, food wasn’t important to me. I was in so much pain, I had no appetite. Our refrigerator was full. The pantry was well-stocked. I had enough food in the cabin to last for almost a month. The only thing I wanted was coffee. Up until late at night, sobbing, talking to Scott, and incapacitated by grief, I would look at the night sky through our bedroom window. Through the glass, I could see a sky full of stars and the glow of the moon. The cabin, mountains,

This is all from my personal perspective; it may or may not apply to anyone else. If it doesn't resonate, then it doesn't apply to you and your relationship. I had a very interesting discussion that began with a question one of our group members posed: what purpose does this time "apart" serve in terms of our eternal life together with our partners after we join them? How does trudging through this normal, every-day world of issues and people and challenges and mundane work a

The story I’m about to tell you begins with a mediumistic reading and ends with an extraordinary realization.

Most mediums are unaware that these types of relationships are possible, but that's beginning to change.

Evidence consciousness survives death has nothing to do with deities, religion, or even superstition when you look closely enough at it.

Midir and Etain One of Scott’s favorite films was 52 First Dates starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore. The setting is in Hawaii, a place I love, a home where my grandparents immigrated to from Spain. I have visited many times and feel the land and sea in my bones, in my blood. So watching this film for the first time with Scott was off to a good start. It’s a soulmate film. After Scott’s death, for many years, I searched for a connection to why Scott wanted me to watch t

Apple Orchard at Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Stratford-Upon-Avon A couple of days ago, I drove over the hills to a town close to the sea. I was in search of apples—a certain type of apple not sold in the usual grocery chains. It’s rare, delicate, and prefers to stay close to home. I wanted to bake a pie for Scott. I feel fall weather on its way. For the first time in months, I enjoyed a cup of tea: Earl Grey with lavender. Scott rarely drank coffee; he preferred tea. On our tra

Something I've recently noticed about members of our Love After Life Facebook group is that, in terms of "the afterlife," the group has been decidedly less spiritual and less religious than any other afterlife group that I've been a part of over the last nine years. Even groups or sites that have very secular-sounding titles are infused with "spiritual" teaching, interpretations, characterizations and perspectives, so much so that it seems like a bait-and-switch. It's like be

Red String Society and the Love After Life FB group has a "new" public YouTube channel (not really a new channel; we established it years ago but just haven't been using it.) This channel is dedicated to discussing topics that are entirely relevant to the continuing of romantic relationships with spouses/partners who have died. The current format is that the founders of the Love After Life group, myself and Mary Beth Spann Mank, have unscripted and unplanned two-hour conversa

I prompted an AI to write out something that accurately reflects my conceptualization of how all this works - life, death and the afterlife, and the unique aspect of romantic soul-mate relationships and transdimensional relationships in general, from an entirely secular perspective: The universe we measure is the mind’s architecture projected outward—every law the stable signature of how attention, valuation, intention, and habit actually operate. When the present calibration

One of the persistent areas of concern when it comes to the afterlife and its relationship to this world is the concept of reincarnation and the idea that we choose to come here to "learn lessons." And, if we don't learn our lessons, we might have to, or choose to, come back to learn the lessons we failed to learn this time around. People in this group often express their desire to never come back, and often worry about why they chose to come here in the first place, what "le
