Nobody expected an airplane carrying a hundred people to crash, least of all Lenny, a young passenger who finds himself transitioning to the other side and adjusting to an entirely new existence.

From his new perspective, Lenny witnesses the ways in which his death affects the people he left behind. From his grieving parents to his younger brother, each of them must try to process the shock of losing Lenny in such a horrific way.

With guidance from his guardian angel, Lenny tries to help his loved ones through the grieving process by using his energy to reach them emotionally. But what Lenny doesn’t realize is that if people aren’t open to receiving his messages, they won’t. Ultimately it is up to each person how he or she will live after Lenny’s death—for better or for worse.

Sitting in silence and listening to someone who is suffering is a great gift. Even if the listening is to the silence of grief, itself. Telling someone how to feel or what to do is not only futile to the grieving person, it is also often harmful. This little book expresses what many of us survivors feel-we know we will heal in time. We just need those around us to give us the space to do so, and to be willing to watch us flounder as we work our way back into the new life that deep down many of… Show more
