This week I'm talking to Janet Kaufman about her book, Through the Vale, A Souls Journey in Grief and Grace.

Janet's life was transformed by the passing of her son Alexander. Following his

transition, Janet experienced direct dialogue with him and other souls in spirit. Hi Janet, thanks a lot

for coming on the podcast. Hello Simon. I'm happy to be here. So we're going to be talking about your book. It's called Through the Vale, A Souls Journey in Grief and Grace.

First of all, could you tell us about Alexander and what happened to him?

Alexander suffered from mental illness, and I say that because that was what I would call it then.

Now I look at as he was extremely sensitive soul and was having a hard time negotiating the cruelties of life.

And it felt easier for him to disassociate.

So the drugs numbed him, and eventually he learned to disassociate without taking any drugs at all.

He was a very different baby and child than how he became when he was a teenager.

So as a child, he was very happy, willing to go along with whatever the plans were,

wanted to go to every single camp, have friends

over, involved in every sport.

I said, would you like to go to that?

Would you like to play t-ball?

Would you like to play basketball?

Everything.

And yeah, and he was very well liked.
