Mikey's Journey to the Other Side

by Mary E. Lambrix

Overview

This book is dedicated to our special angel, Heidi (Carroll) Kunkel who was called to leave us at the young age of 34. She left behind seven-year old twins, Erik and Sean, her husband, sister, brothers, father and mother, and her whole family who love her dearly. Heidi passed away after a courageous battle with primary liver cancer. A special thank you to Dr. Robert Wickman and his clinicians in Quito, Ecuador; they gave us an extra year with Heidi. Mikey’s Journey to the Other Side is a story about a wonderful seven-year old who is born with a defective heart. His close relationship with his Grandma comes to an end when she dies suddenly. Grandma’s burial in the casket is frightening and overwhelmingly sad. When Mikey has another heart operation, he has a near-death-experience. He is briefly reunited with his grandmother’s spirit in a beautiful garden. Now knowing that love can keep him connected to Grandma until they meet again on “The Other Side,” he is able to return to Earth to continue his life. This book was written in hopes that other families will be able to find comfort for themselves and their children when they are faced with the anxiety of the death of a loved one. Believing in the eternal spirit within each of us, and our eventual reunion on the “Other Side,” is a comfort that can ease the fear, pain and finality of death. BELIEVE
