Dr. Joshua Black - Grief Dreams

June 04, 2021 07:02 - 47 minutes - 88.8 MB

Dr. Joshua Black has dedicated the past eight years to studying dreams people have after a loved one dies, or as he calls them, "grief dreams". He's not just a researcher but he also had a dream about his dad after he died that he found to be very comforting and affirming. The research into grief dreams is fascinating to me.

Tricia Barker - Angels in the OR

May 28, 2021 07:36 - 1 hour - 117 MB

When Tricia was in college, she was in a horrific car accident and she died on the operating table in the Emergency Room.

011: Reincarnation Stories from Children

April 20, 2020 01:10 - 6 minutes - 11.2 MB

Have you ever heard a child talk about their "other mommy & daddy"? Or a house or life they used to have in their "other life"? What do you do when you hear them talk like this? Today, I'm sharing a couple of stories with you. These children usually stop telling these stories around 5 or 6 years old and most have no memory of it when they get older. If you have a story of a child in your life that talks about another life, I'd love to hear from you.
