If you or someone you love are grieving the loss of a loved one, this event may help.

Author A.P. Morris will be attending with copies of They’re Not Gone, a collection of stories that provide detailed accounts of 13 people who, through Psychic Medium Ricky Wood, reconnected with a loved one they lost. With names, phrases, mannerisms, and much more, Ricky delivers irrefutable evidence that our spirits are still very much alive after our physical death.

There will be numerous activities and resources available to assist you with your grieving process…

Coping with death & grief is one of life’s most difficult challenges, but dealing with the death of a parent comes with its own type of grieving and issues.

Something instantly happens when your parent dies.  It is one of those rare moments that time seems to slow down so drastically that you wonder if is really is possible for time to stand still.

Can time stand still and race backwards in ‘rewind mode’ at mock speed at the same time?

Standing in the spot where time and space have stopped, you are suddenly no longer able to deny the fact that you never wanted to believe was true — we are mortal and we die.

The parents that seemed so strong – full of authority and direction- are no longer here.

It is in that moment we are born into adulthood.  Gone are the days that we believe that life goes on forever.  Now we are the ‘grownups,’ the ‘voice of reason,’ and the ‘example’ for the next generation.

We are no longer kids.

At that moment that stands still, it is hard to breath.  If we do, it means we are moving on.  Accepting the next breath and the inevitable role that we are now the parents.

It is now that we realize that the role we identified with as a ‘child’ vanishes with our parent’s last breath.  But even so we rebel against this, wanting to cling to that little child we were again…caressed in our parent’s embrace and told — “You are loved unconditionally. You are safe.  I will protect you.  Don’t be afraid.”

When is it that we are ready to forge ahead without the guidance and wisdom of a loving parent.  For a lot of us, we will never be ready, but will do so anyway.

What if you looked at grieving the death of a parent differently?  What if you knew that although the physical body their spirit resided in passed away, they were still very much alive?

Would it make it easier to smile?  Would you be able to start to mourn less and live more?

Would you believe and feel them present during celebrations or even when you sat alone weeping with sadness?

What if you heard from them again?  One more time.  And they let you know they were OK.  More than OK, but happy and whole and still loving you as they always have.

So many want and need this.  Many have.  Greta Reimann has.

Her story is Chapter 6 Daddy’s Little Girl in the book They’re Not Gone by A.P.Morris.

(an excerpt from pg. 81)

As her reading ended, Greta felt like she could

Daddy's Little Girl

fly. For the first time since his death she realized
that what her dad wanted most was for her to look
inside herself and realize what made her tick. He
wanted her to fulfill her dreams. From that day forward,
Greta felt free to follow her heart knowing
that honoring herself was the greatest gift she could
give him.

Her reunion with her dad has changed her outlook
on life by giving her the freedom to manifest
her own hopes and dreams. She is truly grateful
that she was able to hear from him through Ricky.
She still talks to her dad every night knowing definitively
that he hears her and loves her as much as he
always did. Although Greta still misses her dad being
here with her physically, she finds great comfort
knowing that he’s not gone.

We all mourn differently, for different reasons, and for different amounts of time.  But one thing that seems to be innate in everyone is that no matter how old we get, we still want to feel the love of our parents.

I wish for you – to feel that love.  It didn’t die.  It can’t.  Love is forever.

They’re NOT Gone.

Wishing you love & peace,

A. P. Morris

Candace Downing

Grieving the death of a child is by far the worst pain a parent can feel.  How can it NOT be?  A parent’s first instinct is to protect their children.

Dealing with grief from losing a child can seem near impossible and for many, believing in an afterlife is the only thing that can help at all.  It won’t take the pain away but for fleeting moments, knowing that their angel is in fact safe and happy, can provide small windows of peace.

Mathy Downing  is a parent who has had to survive the unsurvivable — losing a child. At the tender age of 12 years old, her daughter Candace passed away.  The most crippling and horrific part was that it could have been avoided.

For most of us growing up, we watched our parents put their trust in doctors.  At that time, medications were more of a last resort for any problem or illness.  Unfortunately, in the current times, pharmaceutical drugs are prescribed at an astronomical rate.

Sadly, Candace’s life was unfairly taken from her because she was a causality of this epidemic.

( “They’re Not Gone”, excerpt from Chapter 13 –An Angel Like No Other, pg. 194)

( excerpt of Mathy speaking to Psychic Medium, Ricky Wood about her daughter Candace )

“You’re right,” Mathy responded sadly. “She was not depressed, she was put on anti-depressants not for depression, but for anxiety, and she did take her own life.” She already knew unequivocally that Candace was not depressed and that the drugs she was prescribed caused it. At that moment she felt understood  watching Ricky’s reaction. After a roller coaster ride of medications, Candace met an untimely death.

Although Mathy already believed in the afterlife and our own innate ability to receive messages from our loved ones, She was comforted by Ricky Wood’s ability to understand the absolute devastation that she felt.  She was also amazed by his ability to ’see’ her at a future event and provide advice.

( “They’re Not Gone”, excerpt from An Angel Like No Other, pg. 195)

“Mathy,” Ricky continued, “I see you standing at a podium in front of hundreds of people. BE STRONG. You have to be strong because they want to see your tears.” Ricky continued adamantly, “You have got to be strong. You can’t cry in front of them because that is what they want to see.” Six months later, Mathy was standing at a podium in front of hundreds of people addressing the FDA. She stood tall and strong telling them, “I am not impressed with you sitting back in your ivory towers passing judgment on our children, and our children’s blood is on your hands.” She did not cry. This statement was replayed in the New York Times, World News Tonight, Fox, MSNBC, and the Today Show. Even at a medical conference, the head speaker quoted her in discussing the corruption of the drug industry in marketing drugs, over medication in our society, and how they are being used to make a buck.

Mathy Downing and her family continue to tirelessly advocate for  parents and children’s rights to be informed of the potential tragic side effects of medicating children.  Their strength and determination will save countless lives– sparing others the unthinkable grief from losing a child .

The death of a child is unfair, excruciatingly painful, and will probably never completely leave you. But my hope is that you will find some peace knowing that the love you and your child share will never die.  It can’t.  Your child is a spirit who is still with you today.

They’re Not Gone.

Wishing You Love & Peace,

A.P. Morris
