Modern Mediumship: The Latest Wellness Revolution

Sherry Gallant is a Spiritual Medium, an Intuitive Coach, and a leading voice in the movement known as “Modern Mediumship.” She had a profound life-changing spiritual awakening when a driver made a quick decision resulting in his vehicle colliding with Sherry’s, and when she came to, she was in a cemetery only steps away from the grave of a close friend named Michael, her son’s namesake who had passed away in 1993. This experience reaffirmed Sherry’s connection to the spirit world because she knew that it was Michael who had saved her life that day. Even her injuries, which should have been much more severe, were minimal, and Sherry had no recollection of the impact or pain of the crash. Sherry contributed a fascinating chapter about this life-changing experience to the book "Gathering at the Doorway - An Anthology of Signs, Visits, and Messages from the Afterlife," and she is a beacon of hope and healing for countless individuals worldwide.

When his two teenage children, Ruby and Hart, were tragically killed by a drunk driver, Colin was thrown headlong into a grief so deep that he felt he might lose his mind, and he found much of the common wisdom about coping with loss—including the ideas that grieving is a private and mysterious process and that the pain is so great that “there are no words”—to be unhelpful.
