When we lose a child, the question we ask is "Is my child ok?" We can't answer that question, though it haunts us.
Many grief support organizations, such as The Compassionate Friends, offer support to parents after a child dies. The Angel of Hope Children's Memorial offers parents an opportunity to create a memorial to the memory of children lost. Others like Bereaved Parents of the USA, The Dougy Center, The COPE Foundation and many more offer help and support to those left behind. Churches, psychologists, peer groups and a multitude of others approach the issue from myriad perspectives. We are not without help, yet we are still left wondering.
Not so for near death experience survivor Brian McLaughlin, author of 'A Flight Without Wings, My Experience With Heaven'. McLaughlin offers a message of hope to those of us who can open our minds to the possibility that there really is an afterlife.
McLaughlin reveals: "The single most asked question I encounter by people who have lost someone special is: Is my child (or special person) Ok ? By that, I have assumed that they are concerned whether their child, family member, or friend are lonely or scared or want desperately to return."
"I find myself in a unique position to answer these and other similar questions through my experience of dying, spending some time in Heaven, then returning."
"Will the deceased remain looking the same as when they left ? Will I recognize them if they age as we do here on Earth ? I think some people liken it to a High School reunion, when you see people you knew decades ago, and now, don’t recognize them at all. The personal experience I had in seeing my deceased father convinced me that it’s not like that in Heaven."
"Secondly, from my own personal experience again, I was not desperate to return. In fact, when my father told me I had to ‘go back’, I was disappointed. That may be a hard pill to swallow for some (it was for my family), but if you think about it... Imagine how content one would have to be, not to want to return, even to say goodbye".
Brian's book about his near death experience, 'A Flight Without Wings' offers readers a look at the near death experience from an unbiased point of view. It is the presentation of the material that sets this book apart from the other books about the near death experience. It is raw and it's real. There is no embellishment and no hidden agenda. While his book has a spiritual flavor certainly, there is no preaching and no religious messages. It is his near-death experience, just as it happened.
McLaughlin's experience changed the course of his life forever. It instilled in him what we all seek - certainty about life after death. And with that a peace of mind that can never be shaken, nor can it be doubted. His near death experience brought a sense of clarity. It brought a sense of real, lasting peace. He now knows with certainty that we exist forever. It is that simple message he brings to his audience, both through his book and at his speaking engagements and in his media appearances.
Brian has won numerous awards. He was chosen as one of '50 Great Writers You Should Be Reading' in both the 2015 and 2016 Book Awards.
Reviews of 'A Flight Without Wings' have been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Penny Sartori, author of 'The Wisdom of Near-Death Experiences', said "This book will help others who have had an NDE to make sense of their experience and will also help those close to someone who has had an NDE because NDEs affect close family members and friends too."
Jack Magnus, a reviewer with Readers Favorite, called the book a "well written and moving memoir that neither delves into the fanciful or dogmatic,...” "…Well worth reading, and is highly recommended." Another stated, "Being a mother who lost her only child I found it to be a great comfort to me." Another said, "I have read many accounts such as these, but this beautifully written account simply touched my heart in ways that previous ones have not."
Mark Feuerstein, Actor (Royal Pains, USA Network) wrote: “I have read it and I think it’s an inspiring tale of deep insight and so personal and yet so universal . . . such profound perspective.”
