"Having had three visitation dreams is a strong indication that your mom is letting you know she is okay and wants you to know, and that you can be okay too. Wanting to see her is understandable but no one knows why some people are seen and others…"

"Hi Diana:
Read about your experience. Am wondering what happened after the car drove up with no one in it and how did you get your car repaired? You were given a gift.

  • p.s., my son and I left the smoking car and the white Mercedes and walked about a mile for help. When we returned the only car there was mine.
  • Yes, it was a gift. I burst into tears after I saw no one there. My mother and I were exceptionally close; we spent her last 3 weeks preparing for her transition. It had only been a month since her passing and I was grief stricken. I couldn't get in the car for a reason I don't understand. She still speaks to me in dreams, but she has never revealed herself. Yet, I've seen her father 3 times since he passed. What does all of this mean? Sometimes I feel like I live in two worlds.

Just Published!!
by Rashani Rea & Kathy Douglas

Those who companion suffering daily, such as hospice nurses and volunteers, will surely appreciate this beautiful work. With 62 original art collages by Rashani Réa, five beautiful chapters by Kathy Douglas, and a foreword by Jean Watson, this exquisite book is a peaceful refuge for contemplation, inquiry, reflection and inspiration for those who traverse the joys and sorrows of nursing.

Kathy Douglas, RN, MPH-HA is a nationally recognized nurse leader, filmmaker and entrepreneur. 

Rashani Réa is a prolific artist and musician, a creatrice of sanctuaries and a respected spiritual mentor.

“This is a beloved book and beyond a book. It is an evocative, poetic, ecstatic, and inspirited sacred, experiential calling. A calling to you--YES, YOU.” 

— Jean Watson, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN, Living Legend (AAN)

“Those who companion suffering daily need to turn inward to metabolize what they have witnessed. This exquisite book, filled with beautiful images and poetic wise words, is the inspiration and support needed to grow a wise heart.” 

— Frank Ostaseski, founder and director of the Metta Institute and author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully

“In this unique time of the COVID-19 pandemic, this book should be considered a tribute to the tremendous courage being displayed by nurses around the world. There is much wisdom conveyed throughout by those who have been there serving others with such grace.” 

Greg Schneider President, HVA, co-author of The Changing Face of Hospice Volunteering in Hospice and Palliative Care
