Reflections on Ineffable Love: from loss through grief to joy
Love Is Stronger Than Death
While I navigated the rough waters of grief after the passing of my husband and twin flame, Stephen, many experiences proved to me that love is not only stronger than death, love transcends death.
In the midst of the worst event of my life, I made an amazing discovery. Although Stephen was no longer alive on earth, our souls could communicate through the veil separating this world and the next.
More than thirteen years after my beloved lifted off for other realms, our sacred love tryst grows stronger every day. Through inspirational stories, meditations and poetry, I am grateful to offer you my reflections on this unique path we are blessed to walk.
For I have come to know that…
loss is for our learning,
grief is for our transformation, and joy is eager to bring us Home
to our soul, our twin flame and our True Self.

In this final book of the Twin Flames of Éire Trilogy, the seers Debbie Conroy and Jeremy Madden must overcome enormous obstacles—both personal and planetary—to join their fellow members of the Friends of Ancient Wisdom to defeat their ancient enemies once and for all.
To compound the uncertainty of their situation, their trusted mentor, the Wonderman F. M. Bellamarre, is no longer with them. However, he has sent his brother Master K. H. to assist the growing community that has gathered around Fibonacci’s coffee shop and esoteric bookstore that appears to be a portal to other realms of consciousness.
Ancient friendships are renewed and several new characters join the community. But will their support be enough for Debbie and Jeremy to finally be together forever? And who will have to make the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of the entire community? These are the mysteries our mystics must resolve as they journey to Ireland where the sight of Skellig Michael triggers memories of deep love, dramatic loss, and devastating betrayal.
