The Afterlife Connection: A Therapist Reveals How To Communicate With Departed Loved Ones

Dr. Jane Greer, a classically trained therapist, began with the belief that the bond that exists between the living and the dead is not purely a psychological one, but is, in fact, much more dynamic and empowering. In the shattering aftermath of her own mother's death, Dr. Greer learned---and shows us as well---that transcommunication is not simply a "hello from heaven" but a powerful therapeutic tool that is available to any of us. Through this communication, the pain of grieving can be made more bearable, ambivalent relationships can be healed, and a loved one's messages can bring relief and joy.

Dr. Jane Greer is the author of Gridlock, How Could You Do This to Me: Learning to Trust After Betrayal, and Adult Sibling Rivalry. She writes an advice column for Redbook Online and is a long-standing member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists.
