In Beyond Ever After, authors Catherine A. Weissenberg and Jocelyn Montanaro offer an all-encompassing message of hope, connection and love. Catherine shares her psychic gift, allowing Jocelyn to communicate with her husband Kevin, who is dying of brain cancer, both while he is in a coma and after his death. Jocelyn, previously a skeptic, chronicles the struggle of losing Kevin, while Catherine provides her spiritual perspective and insight from 30 years of facilitating conversations with comatose patients, the deceased, and God. Not a channel or medium, Catherine describes her work as “dipping into an always-available stream of consciousness” and writing down what she finds there. Through several sessions between Catherine, Jocelyn, and Kevin, Catherine’s “God Writings” are testimony to the authentic, divine connection that can expand our view of the soul and spirit, as well as reality.
