From Experiences to Pages

---

I have continued to “walk” throughout my life, especially when I missed someone I loved or had a misunderstanding and wanted to clear it up immediately. Most walks involved meeting with family members who were no longer in their physical bodies. On some of the walks, I reunited with friends and other loved ones who had crossed over after death, or there was unfinished business they and I needed to complete. Others were with my pets or those belonging to a friend. Many of the people and animals in my stories have now passed on; others knew they were dying and were frightened because they did not know what to expect. Several other people have more recently initiated walks with their loved ones after learning how to use this process. 

I have come to understand how the grief we carry based on losses and misunderstandings affects our relationships. In all cases, my purpose in taking the walks was to assist others – and myself – in healing our relationships. I have kept journals of the walks, which I share now in the spirit of supporting others on their path to creating more loving and compassionate relationships and to healing anything that is unlike love. 

Come Walk With Me includes my perceptions of how my walks have affected my family, mostly my mother’s family of origin. Some of the memories are from third-party perceptions that I relate here in my own words and include my interpretation of what took place. In no way are they intended to speak for others, as each person has his or her own memories and interpretations. The most important aspect of the interactions with others has been honest communication and loving expression about particular events to provide clarity and understanding.
