Product Description
What happens to our loved ones when they die?Is there a heaven? Is there a true connection and communication between the living and the dead? Allison DuBois invites us into her world where she delivers messages from our lost loved ones. She convinces us that those who have passed away are constantly with us, providing comfort, love, and support. They are as eager to reach us as we are to stay connected with them. But the dead have a language of their own. They communicate through signs, dreams, songs, coincidences, and messages delivered in unexpected ways. Allison takes us on an odyssey of these signs — how to recognise them, how to read them, and how to interpret them. In these pages, you will meet people who have had both heartbreaking and heartwarming communication with the other side, providing comforting proof that our deceased loved ones stay with us and continue to share in the joys of our lives.

 LENGTHY BUT INFORMATIVE November 2, 2008
TOO IN DEPTH FOR WHAT I WANTED TO READ. BUT SUPER FOR BEGINNERS/SEEKERS IN THIS AREA.

A wannabe. Everything you need to know you can find on the outside of this book.

Do you believe that the Dead talk to us? This is the premise of Allison DuBois' book, We Are Their Heaven: Why The Dead Never Leave Us. DuBois, the inspiration for the lead character in the popular television show, Medium, argues that when people pass, they continue to share in the lives of those they loved.
The book is broken into short chapters, many of which focus on the author's readings. Each chapter begins with a description of the deceased from somebody who knew them well, usually a parent, spouse, or child. These writers show us a heartfelt, and sometimes difficult to read, description of life after losing a loved one. After the bereaved's essay, the author shares the images and thoughts that come through her readings. She contends that the deceased continue to be a presence in the grieving person's life. DuBois then gives specific instances where the deceased attempted to communicate. For example, she tells one parent, your son "says he still calls you on your phone." Immediately the mother pulls her cell phone out and shows DuBois the text message left by her son three days after his death. According to DuBois, the deceased might also comment on a favorite food dish that they enjoy, a party they attended (after their death), balloons that were brought to a party to honor them, or say they are responsible for their favorite song playing on the radio.
Chapter topics include the loss of a child, spouse, those who passed while in Hospice (particularly hard to read), and the loss of a parent. Fans of the television show will enjoy the chapter on Medium, in which DuBois reveals what on the show is closely based on her and her family, and what is fictionalized. The final chapters cover murder victims, suicides, how the reader can understand their own visions or feelings of the departed, and why we are all special.
Your level of enjoyment with We Are Their Heaven: Why The Dead Never Leave Us will depend largely on your belief system. If you have recently lost somebody, and feel that they are still with you, then you will likely find comfort in this book. If, however, you scoff at the notion that a chair moved, a lightbulb flickered, a song came on the radio, all because a departed loved one is trying to send a message, you may want to skip this title. Still, DuBois has an easy writing style and she does give numerous examples with very specific information passed to her by the departed, so you might just want to read We Are Their Heaven and decide for yourself.
Quill says: A nice book for fans of the show Medium and anybody who believes that the Dead visit the Living.
 Listen to this 6 audio cd set... August 10, 2008
... with moving and fascinating testimonials from 'sitters' with Allison and how this comforted them and helped them move on with their lives. Allison also talks about the TV-series 'Medium' and how the shows compares to her own family as well as her professional experiences. I, in fact, found this audio set to be even better and more interesting than 'Don't Kiss Them Goodbye...' . I warmly recommend all three audio sets. Forget about the books !!!
Easy and Helpful July 30, 2008
I bought this book because a close friend of mine lost her dad and son in a traffic accident, and it seemed like it might help her. It was a good choice and it actually helped both of us. The text is easy to read, even older kids should be able to manage it. The message is clear and uplifting. The families that Allison worked with to reassure them that their loved ones still live, just not in the physical, were very blessed. I look forward to reading more of her books.
