This book is dedicated to the memory of
my dear mother and sister: to a love that never dies.
A note from the Author

I am not afraid of death ever since I lost my lovely Mum and, shortly thereafter, my sister and best friend, Linda. I know that one day we will be reunited in Heaven. I look forward to that wonderful day. Please don't misunderstand this as a “death wish,” nor as meaning that my life is unhappy; it is not. My life is significantly different without the daily comfort of those whom I love. I miss them both immensely. Events since my mother's death have impacted my life profoundly to the point that, now, I share my story with you in hope that it may be of comfort to those who grieve for their loved ones and struggle to live in a world without them.
Introduction

No one can prepare you for the death of a loved one. There comes a time in your life when you will lose someone you love. Whatever your religious beliefs are, you probably have an opinion on the existence of life after death. Many people believe that you go to Heaven after you die, but what and where is Heaven? Seeking the truth became a big part of my life when, suddenly, in a short period of time, I lost my dear Mum and sister to a place I call Heaven.
My journey began initially when I lost my mother, but in reality it began with the loss of Linda, my sister and best friend. Grief stricken, I set off on a journey to discover the truth: Where did they go? Is there life after death? Is there a place called Heaven? Is that where God has taken them? In desperation, I wanted to find them and discover the place called Heaven. I thought that there must be a way, and I was determined to find it. I had nothing to lose; my loved ones had already gone. This distraught state of mind led me on a journey that soothed my pain and gave me the courage not to be afraid of death.
I discovered a world, a Heaven, where I found my mother and sister—I did not lose them. I came across the ability to communicate with my mother and sister through “inspired writing” at times least expected. To my surprise, it came so easily and naturally that my sister told me that together “we” would write a book to help other people. My sister's personality comes through her writings where she brings her great sense of humor, creating lively meditations, and in her words " to put some humor in the book ." Other times she talks to me in a stern voice while giving me sisterly advice. She refers to Heaven as “this side” and not “the other side” as I call it—she often corrects me! Linda says that her side is “normal to them” just as we see our world as “normal to us.”
This book is based on my experiences during meditation and silent prayer, writing down what I saw on my spiritual voyages to Heaven, where I travel through realms of consciousness, going deep within where I could see Heaven, the afterlife. It is a narrative of my spiritual experiences, the story telling of my meditation sessions where I communicate with Heaven.
In this book, I talk about the love that bonded us together, a love that continues from the grave to Heaven, the afterlife, and a love that never dies. I began my journey to discover the truth and, in turn, it helped soothe my pain. I wish to share my experiences with you in hope that it will comfort you in your time of grief and help you discover your path in life. If my story plants a seed and encourages just a small number of people to discover their journey, then this book will have served its purpose. I ask only that you open your mind.

My mother and sister have given me much guidance in writing this book and, for the clarification of the reader, I have used italics when writing in a meditative state. The meditation sessions are full of life's lessons, life's purpose with examples and analogies, which give insight to the meaning of life and how to live happily. This book is an on-going dialogue with Heaven.
Love Never Dies:
From Heaven my Sister Speaks

Chapter 1: Life Changes

I have always believed in Heaven. I know that is where God has taken my mother and sister. Although I did not grow up in a particularly religious family, we believed in God. As children, we were all christened in a local church, in a small town located north of London, England. The choice of church was not based on any particular denomination, but, rather, on the location; closest to home was the best criteria. Even more conveniently located was the weekly Sunday school at the local school hall, which we were all encouraged to attend. Again, this was not based on any religious beliefs; instead, it gave my mother and father a small break on Sundays to prepare the family dinner without children “under their feet.”
My twin sister, Louise, and I were sandwiched in between Linda, our elder sister, and Scott, our younger brother. We all got along so well as children and this continued into our adult lives. There were many fun and happy “teasing” times. We bonded together through the trauma of our parents’ divorce when Mum became both “mother and father” to us.
I took a natural likening to Sunday school and continued to attend well into my late teens. My siblings happily abandoned Sunday school many years earlier, as soon as they were able to find a “better use” of this time by “having fun” with friends. Linda was always the funny one, with her quick wit and good sense of humor. She used to say that going to Sunday school gave me "Jesus points in the bank," and that, when I was older, I could "draw them out." At the time, I had no idea what she meant by this, but later, throughout our lives, if ever good fortune came my way, Linda would remind me that I was using my “Jesus points.”
Being five years older than “the twins” as we were called, Linda was like a second mother to us, especially during the time that our real mother, after her divorce, suffered from severe depression and could not cope with life, nor her family. Linda took us to school, prepared our meals, and helped us with our homework. On Sunday mornings, Linda took us for walks and played a game with us in which we had to memorize all the street names so “you can always find your way home,” she’d say. By the time Linda was 21, she set off on her journey “to see the world.” When she came home, we sat and listened with great joy to all her adventures.
I, too, left home and moved to San Francisco to begin a new life with my husband. San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and my family visited me often. My brother, Scott, moved to Australia to experience life “down under,” and Louise remained close by to Mum, living in our hometown with her husband and two small children. Mum enjoyed being a grandmother and spending time with her grandchildren. Although the family was “scattered around the world,” we visited each other often and as much as possible.
Linda was in her early thirties when she moved to America to be close to me. I had settled in a small town outside of Washington D.C. called Charlottesville, not long after my marriage had dissolved. Linda enrolled at the local college and immediately made many friends. She loved the idyllic town with panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Most of all she loved Harvey, an older cat whom she adopted from the S.P.C.A.. It was not long before Harvey became diabetic, and Linda lovingly administered his daily insulin shots. When he passed away a few years later, Linda was heartbroken and decided to return home to England to be closer to mother and the family.
Linda adjusted back into British society and was thrilled to work for an American Company she said was like having a piece of America and the best of both worlds. Everyone was pleased to have Linda home, especially mother. Linda would pop in to visit Mum on her way home from work and to take her out on Sunday afternoons. Mother never learned how to drive, so she enjoyed their weekly rides out to the countryside, stopping at garden centers along the way. Also, Linda reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Jimmy, and happily settled into her new life.
Although I lived in America and my family lived in England, distance was never an obstacle when it came to our special family bond. I traveled several times a year to visit them, and there wasn't a year that went by that one of my family members did not visit me. They loved America, and they especially loved New York. Mother used to say how she felt “alive” there, and in her experience as a world traveler, “there was no place like New York.” On her 60th Birthday, I took her to the Windows of the World, a restaurant located at the top of the Twin Towers. She sat in the restaurant looking over the city of New York and exclaimed “at sixty years of age I am sitting on top of the world!” She was so excited. She even took a photograph inside the elevator of a display panel of the buttons for each floor. Sh
