Hi Denise,

I'm sorry you're in such pain. My son is 29 and my daughter is 27. I can't really feel your pain, but I can at least sense some of it when I think about being separated from either of them.

You must learn what we know to be true. Your son is fine. He's more than fine. He's happy and starting a new adventure in his eternal life. He knows your thoughts and your pain, and he comes around when you need comfort. He's with you, holding you in his arms. He's saying not to be so full of grief, that he's fine. Just know that. You will have more life together, both after this life and in future lives. Now, you have your own life to live, to grow spiritually and in your understanding. As you grow, you can help others to overcome their grief. You have much to do.

Immerse yourself in learning about and understanding the afterlife. You'll understand more as you look and openly listen.

For IADC therapy, I recommend that you speak with Dr. Allan Botkin, the originator of the therapy method. I know he does therapy over a weekend with people, so you could travel to him in Libertyville, Illinois, to do it. As for the other therapists, they all set their own rules and standards. You would need to contact one and ask him or her about whether they would schedule one session.

You might also consider a phone reading by one of the talented mediums. The chances of having an IADC in one session are around 70% at best, and that's most often just a feeling of the presence of the loved one or a smiling face. A medium will actually communicate with a loved one, with a good chance of connecting, and tell you what he is saying. You can see a list of good therapists at http://youreternalself.com/mediums.htm. I recommend Laurie Campbell or Carole Lynne.

Love and peace, Craig
