Book Review and Giveaway! "Love Never Dies by Dr. Jamie Turndorf"

I've just finished reading Dr.Turndorf's "Love Never Dies" and the author and publisher is giving me the honor of allowing one of my readers of this blog to win a copy through my FACEBOOK page, https://www.facebook.com/ghostsandspirits.insightsfromamedium or https://www.facebook.com/RobGutroAuthorMedium. 
  Tell me why you feel this book could help you. The publisher will pick a winner and mail a copy directly.

Here are my thoughts on "Love Never Dies by Dr. Jamie Turndorf"
     I found the book very helpful in guiding people to learn how to tune into spirit messages, and particularly liked Dr. Turndorf's guidance through meditations. In Parts two and three, Dr. Turndorf covered so many of the ways that spirits convey messages and this book will be a great help for people trying to get in touch with their loved ones.
    Part 1 was her story of losing the love of her life. The intense grief and agony she experienced and conveyed after losing Jean Pin would really benefit people who had recently lost a loved one and were going through the same intensity of grief. Reading about the pain and agony she experienced and SO MANY people experience, will be healing to know that others experience the same emotions after the passing of a loved one.  I think the first part could be a book on it's own merit because it is so beneficial to people dealing with the same intensity of grief.
   As a scientist myself, I was glad to read that she didn't focus on a religion. As a medium, I have come to know that "god" not of a religion, but is the consciousness of all living things. Like Dr. Turndorf I've learned that all people are equal and all creatures part of all existence (and with "souls.").
   I particularly enjoyed reading how she used her talent/mediumship to help people overcome their grief. Readers will get a lot out of this book and know that their loved ones are always connected. - Rob Gutro




BOOK SUMMARY: "LOVE NEVER DIES"  Famed relationship therapist, author, and media personality Dr. Jamie Turndorf shares the amazing true story of her spiritual reconnection with her beloved deceased husband, internationally renowned former Jesuit priest Emile Jean Pin. Discovering for herself that relationships don’t end in death, Dr. Turndorf has created a groundbreaking new grief therapy method that combines her acclaimed conflict-resolution techniques with after-death communication.

The result: an unprecedented method that enables the bereaved to reconnect, heal unfinished business, and make peace with the deceased.

 OTHER REVIEWS:   Love Never Dies is guaranteed to give immense hope to those grieving the perceived loss of a loved one. Dr. Jamie Turndorf provides stunning evidence of the continuity of love and life, along with the tools to help anyone connect with those in the unseen world.” — Suzanne Giesemann, author of Messages of Hope

"Love Never Dies is an astonishing and refreshing story of survival of consciousness…I could hardly put the book down, and I have read many of these types of books. This is a great read for those who have lost a loved one and are looking for answers to the ways spirit makes contact with us, and also how we can contact spirit to make peace. I highly recommend this book."— Dave Campbell, Certified Windbridge Research Medium (WCRM)

Cemetery Vandalism - Emotionally Damaging to a Family and Friends

  The highest insult and hurt you can cause people who lost a loved one is to desecrate a grave. It's bad enough that families and friends have lost a loved one. Vandalism to a grave is emotionally damaging to family and friends. I bring this up, because there was an incident in the news that was apparently politically motivated.
  By the way, whenever people commit vandalism in cemeteries the dead are watching, and karma will catch up to them.
  Often, young adults have been found to "hang out" in cemeteries and even party, destroying grounds, gravestones and destroying historic markers. 
   This week, the desecration of a gravesite was done on purpose by someone
who opposes a political candidate. Regardless of your political leanings, a person's family graves are off-limits. These are respectful places for the remains of those who passed and places where the living can go to grieve, talk to the spirits and find peace. 

ARTICLE: Gravestone Of Hillary Clinton's Father Toppled In Possible Act Of Vandalism 

Police are looking into whether vandals knocked over the headstone on the grave of Hillary Clinton's father, the Scranton Times-Tribune reported Wednesday.  Scranton Police Chief Carl Graziano told the newspaper that the the department received a report that Hugh Rodham's headstone had been toppled Tuesday morning in Washburn Street Cemetery. He suggested that vandals may have tipped it over. 

No other headstones in the cemetery were reported to have been knocked over, police told local TV station WNEP. The stone was put back in place Tuesday afternoon, according to the Scranton Times-Tribune.

The loss of a pet is like to loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies, and in a new book called "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro, the author provides proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side.
"I wrote this book to bring comfort to people who lost a pet and explain how our dogs and cats give us messages from the other side," Gutro said. "I'm a dog dad who lost two of my own beloved dogs and both have communicated with me, just as your pets are trying to get messages to you."
Rob Gutro is a dog owner, dog rescue volunteer, medium/paranormal investigator for Inspired Ghost Tracking of Md. and scientist. In Rob's third book, "Pets and the Afterlife," readers will learn how dogs, cats, horses and some birds have the intelligence and ability to send signs to the living after they pass. They will take comfort in knowing our pets are around us from time to time in spirit and recognize the signs they give us.  In addition, readers will learn about the different levels of intelligence that a pet develops and how they are used to communicate signs to the living after the pet passes away. Rob shares scientific studies that prove our pets emotions and personalities. Read the science behind why living pets can sense entities. The author even takes the readers on a paranormal investigation where one of his dogs helps solve a mysterious canine mystery. Learn how our pets in spirit wait for us when it’s our time, what a pet’s ashes can do, the difference between ghosts and spirits and the science behind the energy they use to communicate with us.
"The book also features my dog Buzz who was killed in an accident as a puppy, and became the world's greatest canine communicator in the afterlife," Gutro said. Rob's childhood dogs recently also made an appearance as his mother passed away.
Three of the chapters are written by well-known mediums whose own dogs returned and communicated with them to assure them they were at peace. The book features medium Barb Mallon, Ruthie Larkin the Beantown Medium and Troy Cline. You'll read how Rob's dog Sprite passed and came to all three of these mediums with similar messages and how he revealed his presence to many people in the form of butterfly.   Read an amazing story of how a ghost dog rescued a young girl who grew up to work for dog rescues, and how Rob encountered a tiny ghostly dog in a famous museum in England.

My Friend Jim Gets Confirmation from His Dad's Spirit: Moving Day

JIm's dad's spirit was with him on moving day
Spirits can give messages that they're around us in many ways. One of the most common ways is through coins. The  year on the coin is the best way to identify which spirit is paying you a visit.
  On Saturday, April 11, I received an email from my good friend Jim, who was moving out of the house that he lived in for the last 7 years. He had recently experienced a divorce, and was dealing with being on his own again. There was one spirit who apparently knew that he needed to know he really wasn't alone.

EMAIL FROM JIM:
I remember you saying that our dear departed will leave coins for us...well I found a penny today while moving. Year was 1994...year my dad passed...

MY RESPONSE:
That's awesome. So he's there helping you move, and assuring you that it's the right thing to do.

Email Question about a potential haunting

I receive emails and questions from time to time, and I try to respond as quickly as possible. The following email came
to me and I urged the person to get help from local paranormal investigators. I'm sharing it with you in case you or someone you know is experiencing something similar. Here's the email exchange:
Ever since our roommates left , it's just me my son and daughter. (My son) has been "falling " down stairs and says I push him which I did not. But you could see him get pushed. He said this stranger wakes up the baby every time he says it she's awake.
  Also, something cut [a piece] out of my hair. Am I losing my mind or should I contact someone for help. Things have followed me since I was very young.

MY RESPONSE: 
It sounds like you could have an intelligent ghost in the home- so I recommend that you contact a local ghost hunting group to do an investigation.   You can search them using Google. Just search on "paranormal investigation and (your town, state)."
  Meanwhile, bring a lot of light into your home, play instrumental music to bring in positive energy, and tell whatever may be there that it's your home, and to leave you and your children alone. - It could be a ghost, or just negative energy that needs to be cleared out. Either way, a ghost group can help you do that.
Sincerely, Rob

Guest Blog: A FEW BUT IMPORTANT TIDBITS WHEN HAVING A MEDIUMSHIP READING

This week's blog is from my friend and amazing medium, Barb Mallon. Barb published the following in her newsletter (www.barbmallon.com) recently, and I think it's really important to share with everyone. - Rob
 
A FEW BUT IMPORTANT TIDBITS WHEN HAVING A MEDIUMSHIP READING
         
 Recently, I've had more people than usual not understand how a medium works, how the process works or why they don't hear what they wish to hear in a session.  I've even had clients tell me how they'd like me to read for them with no "ifs," "ands," or "buts" allowed.   I truly can't dictate a reading, nor can I conform how I work to fit someone else's expectations.  It's really always best to understand how a psychic or medium works, know what to expect in advance, and to get good references, rather than be too "on guard."  Here are a few pointers!  :)

  1. Allow the psychic or medium to work in the way THEY need to work.  Understandably, there are many charlatans out there, and you really DO need to be wary of the "generals" in a reading (and if you feel the psychic isn't connecting with you, and giving vague info, DO let them know and possibly even stop the session.)  It's always best to go into a session relaxed and open to info and messages, not to hear what you want to hear or connect to that exact person in spirit.   Let the psychic or medium do their job in the way they need to do it, leave expectations at the door and your session will more than likely flow much better.  As I told one lady this month, you don't go into the doctors' office and tell the doctor how to examine you, or a lawyer how to work on your case.  The psychic needs to conduct a reading the way they need to.

  2. Try to go to a psychic or medium who has been referred to you by someone who has had a good experience.  If you don't know of anyone who's been to a psychic, try to find a site on the internet with fair reviews on the psychic.  While testimonials are nice on a psychics website, you really don't know for sure they are legitimate, so it's a good idea not to choose a psychic because of his or her own website testimonials.  

  3. Don't call or write a psychic or medium for a freebie or "test" mini reading.  Most valid mediums I know need to prepare with prayer, meditation and ritual before opening up to spirit, spirit guides or the angelic realm.  It's not fair to expect a medium to connect on the spot... we have lives too!  :)

  4. Try not to rate a psychic or medium with "hits" or "misses."  There will ALWAYS be information not understood during a session that a psychic will "leave you" with.  These are not necessarily "misses," and are usually understood at a later time.  There will always be validations that occur AFTER the session is over when the unknowns in a reading are discovered!

  5. During a session, if a psychic or medium tells you things about yourself, it's a good thing!  I've had people tell me, "yes, I know this about myself... so?"  Well, I DON'T!  This means the psychic is connecting with your energy and if that's the case, should be able to link with your people in spirit as well, if that's what you're looking for.  We know YOU know things about yourself, but a psychic doesn't know anything about you, so this is a good indication that a link has been established between you and the psychic.

  6. For medium sessions where a psychic links to your people in spirit, it's important to allow the process to unfold in the way spirit would like it to.  Allow them to bring through ANY pieces of info, even if it seems "trivial" or "insignificant" to you.  Example:  Me:  (laughing...) "wow, he tells me he always late, correct?"  Client: (shrugging shoulders...) "yes, he was always late, so????"   Again, YOU may know this about your spirit person, but the medium doesn't, and this is very important.  The spirit person will give the medium anything - seemingly insignificant things, or very significant things - to prove to you it's them!   They are all little puzzle pieces of information about themselves that you'll put together to understand and identify a spirit person.

  7. On that same note, don't feel a medium hasn't connected with your spirit person just because that ONE thing you asked them to bring through in your reading didn't come through.  I can tell someone 50 things about their spirit person with "yes" to all of them, but because that one item didn't come through, the client will disqualify the fact that it was the spirit person they thought it was.  This is so unfair to spirit and the process as they work VERY hard to get as much to you about themselves as possible, and then any messages THEY feel they'd like to give you.  If you don't hear that one particular thing, it's ok.  DO remember to collect all they DID give to you, know they did the best they could and thank them.

  8. Spirit people will also tell you what YOU did today, last week, yesterday, etc.  Why?  To show they DO visit often and are aware of your life!  Again, these can be just silly little things such as you ordering pizza or dropping a bowl on the ground.  The medium doesn't know you did this, but your spirit people do!

  9. Understand that a medium is given information quickly, symbolically and that their guides use what the medium has stored in their brain for references/evidence to give to you.  Don't try to make it fit or hang on the exact thing you're waiting for.  Example:  "I'm seeing the time when I closed the door on my cats tail. Your dad is bringing my experience up because you must have had the same kind of experience.  Does this make sense?"   Normally, it either very closely makes sense for the spirit person or you, and they'll bring this up to give you another puzzle piece.  If you had a similar experience and understand what they are TRYING to relay, it's best to acknowledge it.

  10. It's ok to say "no, that doesn't make sense for him/her."  You won't hurt the mediums feelings!  The medium can and should ask for clarification if something doesn't make sense to you.  Normally, it means that two energies may be blending, and that another spirit person is trying to come through.  Remember too, that some info isn't validated until later.

    All in all?  Being an open skeptic is best.  Don't reach for everything and make it fit, and don't be so insistent that only certain people or info should come through.  Understand that it is a process, and for me, it's much like playing charades when I can barely see, feel or hear them.  The connection may be very strong or somewhat light depending on many variables, and we do the best we can to snag that evidential info from them and pass it along to you.  So, just try to let the medium do their work and the spirit people or guides do their work as well.  This will allow the session to unfold in the way it was meant to!

A Walk Through the Haunted Whaley House

My friend Anne Marie recently went to the Whaley House Museum in San Diego and caught an orb (the most  simple form a ghost can take) in one of her photos looking down the main stairway. 



 
The orb is at the bottom of the stairway
Whaleyhouse.org said the earliest documented ghost at the Whaley House is "Yankee Jim." James (aka Santiago) Robinson was convicted of attempted grand larceny in San Diego in 1852, and hanged on a gallows off the back of a wagon on the site where the house now stands. Heavy footsteps were heard moving about the house. Whaley described them as sounding as though they were made by the boots of a large man.

Then there's the ghost of Mr. Whaley: Many visitors to the house have reported encountering Thomas Whaley himself. .

- The website says: The specter of Anna Whaley has also been reported, usually in the downstairs rooms or in the garden. In 1964, Mrs. Whaley's floating, drifting spirit appeared to [television personality Regis] Philbin.Other visitors have described seeing or sensing the presence of a woman in the courtroom.  The site also says there's a ghost of a young girl and a spotted dog. There's a LOT going on in there!!!


Yankee Jim's Grave
Anne Marie said:    Violet committed suicide in the “privy” (a.k.a. outhouse) after her husband, whose intent was to marry her and then run away with the money she’d inherit, left her. He bailed on her and never got the money. She’d been prone to depression, and of course at that time, with no true understanding of depression, and then this having happened to her, and she was in her early 20’s (when a lot of mental illness decides to emerge), she took her father’s gone, went out into the “privy” and shot herself. So tragic!

I stood over Yankee Jim’s grave and asked him to show himself to me there. He didn't.  I don’t think he was the orb in the house. The archway that you see in the salon is the spot where he was hanged. The thing about Yankee Jim was that he was 6’3” or so, and the gallows were not set up for such a tall man, so when the bottom was released to hang him, his neck never broke, and he hung there for about 40 minutes or so, strangling to death. 

My gut instinct tells me that the orbs were women of the house. Possibly Violet, Anna, or someone else. The feeling I get when I look at these are not one of fear or happiness or really anything. They’re just kind of there. Not good, not bad… just there. Like maybe a mother and 2 daughters??? Not sure.

The courtroom gave me some pretty significant feelings. The feeling within the courtroom was not a happy feeling. It’s hard to describe – it was like a feeling of severity and harshness. Justice may have been carried out, but not always, and I don’t think people’s outcomes there were necessarily fair. The feeling was “stern” if that makes any sense.
