Growing Up in Heaven: The Eternal Connection Between Parent and Child

Losing a child is the most difficult thing that could happen to anyone. It is more painful than knowing you have a terminal illness. This group has been helping me a lot in my healing knowing that my son never really left me - he is just in another dimension and our love for each other continues. And that someday, we will be reunited again. This book helped me understand life better and why I am here...what's my son's purpose is. I know this is our fate and God had me experience bearing my child but losing him in this earthly life for a good reason. And whatever that reason is, no matter how painful His ways are, I know it is for the culmination of God's plans for me and for the people around me. My son's earthly life has been very instrumental in our lives and for the progression and healing of our souls.I actually tried posting one paragraph of this book to a support group for mothers who have lost a child and not everyone is agreeing to the thoughts of James. I respect them because some of them are hurting and are healing in a way that is different from mine. One commenter even asked if the author lost a child also for him to say that. I am not sure of the answer because all I know is that James is a pscyhic medium and has a gift.This book is well recommended to grieving parents like me. Thank you James. I am inspired to read more of your books.

I can't say I've read all of this book, but I can say what I have read has been a huge comfort. I lost my first son when he turned 2 months old. It was the hardest most heart breaking time in my whole life . Words can't describe the feelings one has when they lose or have lost a child. I am a natural skeptic, but I do believe in God and that there is a place we all go after we die. That gives me a lot of hope. This author is someone I've followed a little over the years ( my son left in 2001). I feel the way he conveys the messages are very loving and touching and I can't see how he could be a " fake". It's up to the individual to believe or not... it also depends on your faith. I do feel some people are " gifted". Either way, this is a book of beautiful and heart warming stories about life, loss and love. It's also about having something to look forward to after the life on this plane ends. I've gifted this book sadly to three people all having lost children. I bought my book originally from a Dollar Tree ( I lucked up) and after giving it away reordered it only to give that away and then again. It's definitely a read for any parent(s) having a hard time moving forward. Go ahead and take a step.. your loved one will always wait for you.

I’m not a believer in reincarnation and this book talks a lot about that but I will say this book was so far the best I’ve read for my loss of my baby. There’s so much I got out of this book. I’ll keep it forever and re read it

So I originally bought this book a couple months ago when a friend of ours lost their youngest son who was in my child’s class. It made me question so much and this book felt like it helped fill in some of those questions and fears. It wasn’t until I recently lost a baby 3 months into my pregnancy did I realize how helpful these words he wrote can be. As a mother without her child, any comfort I find is so beautiful. He writes in a way to bring you peace over the little control we all feel in such losses

love this book. I wish I didnt need to read a book about my child growing up in Heaven, but my 23 year old precious son was in an accident and died 16 months ago.I am a Christian, so I struggled with ordering this book, there were parts I skipped, but for the most part this was a comforting book.As a mom, we always want to know our children make it to there destination (call us when you get there safely), we want to who they are hanging out with and if they are having fun. As a Christian, we are only told vaguely that our child is in heaven and it is beyond anything we can imagine.But, I want to know .. how long does it take, did my son get there safely, did he find grandma and grandpa okay.this book tells you this is what happens... not maybe what happens or just that its great, but as a mom here is what it looks like for your child, and now that you know, you can rest a little.

I lost my baby boy in June 2000. Ever since I've been tormented about him. Where is he, is he scared and alone, is his soul lost or in trouble? Many horrible thoughts come to mind and i have lived in my own personal hell. This book has helped me realize that my son is ok. I realize my son is safe, not scared. I realize I'm sypposed to be taught something by his death (difficult to accept but I have). I do think he has been around me but, since I'm so angry I didn't know it. This book has helped me release that anger and feel peaceful inside. This book has also helped me grow spiritually. I see where my soul has done bad things out of anger. Now, i think before i get so angry i lash out in the wrong way. I'm able to see i got frustrated to easily and handled situations to intently and unhealthy. I now can see and find peace. I wish i would have known about this book 13 years ago. Thank you James Van Praagh!! Thank you! Yhank you!

Bought this book after I lost my son full term with no heartbeat. I loved this book and how it made me feel about the loss of loved ones and also how I felt about my depression and suicide. I love James Van Praagh and want him to know how thankful I am for him. I am not religious and this was not written in a religious view. I believe it’s an open minded and flexible point of view for anyone. I’ve since bought 3 other books of his! He’s wonderful and I love this book

Insights for anyone whose Child has passed on including aspects of the Life journey & continuation of the love between Parent & Child.
