Guide Review - We Are Their Heaven: Why the Dead Never Leave Us
In her second book, Allison DuBois, depicted also in the popular TV show Medium, addresses a common question that people battle with when a loved one dies--what happens to them?
Allison DuBois focuses on communication with the departed in We Are Their Heaven, explaining how to receive and interpret signs from our friends on the other side. I have to admit to being skeptical about signs; after reading the book I thought that if I wanted to, I could see signs everywhere, from my dreams, to birds in the garden, to library books that become misplaced (my mother was a librarian). We Are Their Heaven really focused in one direction. In the more than 2,000 readings that Allison DuBois has done for people, were there ever any where the departed really didn't love the one she left behind? Why aren't the dead ever unhappy on the other side? What if the person left on earth really didn't love the person who died? Does he never leave her even if he knows she doesn't care?
I mention above that the book was fragmented. In the virtual middle of the book, Ms. DuBois inserts a chapter on the TV show. I happen to like the program, and I am intrigued by Allison DuBois as a person and as a medium. Assuming that someone had not read the first book, and the publisher wanted to make sure that Medium fans got something out of this one, an explanation of the TV show would be better suited as an epilogue. I didn't think it belonged in the book at all.
