Foreword by Fiona McGree
If you're like many people, you've heard the sayings ‘every cloud has a silver lining’, ‘one door closes, another one opens’, ‘back up, take a bird's eye view and look at the big picture’, and thought them to be trite and clichéd.
You might even have sighed and rolled your eyes when someone recited them to you in your dejected state of mind because they weren't what you wanted to hear.
It's a funny thing about life, you don't really learn or understand some things until you actually live them. Suddenly things make sense, pennies drop, dozens more clichés fall into place and meaning comes to light.
A journey through what some would describe as the sorrow and tragedy of losing a loved one has actually become a magical encounter with another world for this author.
A poignant and meaningful story, All The Way makes sense of all the little pieces of life's mysteries and taboos to do with dying, death, religion, spirituality and messages from the other side.
The author invites you into his thought processes and experiences with his Love, whose body might have been left behind but whose spirit is readily accessible.
Rather than peruse in magazine flip-through style, engage the story from beginning to end, because just like life, you gather pieces of information from particular episodes that build upon the things you glean after that. At the end of the day (or in this case, book), the separate bits and pieces will 'gel'.
