When seventeen-year-old Tim dies in a car crash at the turn of the millennium, well-meaning friends inform Annette that a parent, especially a mother, never recovers from losing a child.

​

And yet she not only survives, she thrives – flying higher because of grief.

​

Refusing to be defined by long-held beliefs, she discovers transformational gifts arising from the noble rite of passage that humanity has regarded as crippling grief. It’s not all plain sailing, especially when living aboard a yacht while grieving and dismantling who she thought she was. But she was never alone.

​

Offering wisdom from beyond the veil, Tim reveals how death is not the end of our loved ones, and that life continues in the spirit realm as the ever being of life. ​

Tucking his mother under his wing, he guides her to release acquired beliefs from her conditioned mindset, and to delight in their new relationship that extends beyond worlds, the universe, time and space.

She is now free to fly within her own soul-directed consciousness, unshackled from limiting beliefs – this is the richly transformative gift of grief.

​

The magic, humour and ancient truth revealed in this timeless memoir by New Zealand author, ANNWYN, apply to any life changing event that brings suffering and sorrow.
