Tears for a Golden Butterfly (eBook, ePUB)

A Memoir of Grief and Spiritual Awakening

Beschreibung

In the summer of 2023, author Corine de Ruiter was suddenly confronted with her twenty-nine-year-old son Julian's mental health and substance use problems. After Julian's passing from an overdose, she started to receive messages about the planning for his celebration of life. These messages became more and more frequent, and it dawned on her that these were not her own thoughts. In Tears for a Golden Butterfly, Corine presents a touching memoir of loss, grief, and spiritual awakening. Attempting to comprehend her experiences, she dove into the research literature on so-called after-death communications and near-death experiences. She began following online courses with Suzanne Giesemann, a former US Navy commanding officer who is now an evidential medium and spiritual teacher. During meditations and mediumship practice sessions, Corine developed her skills to connect with beings in the spirit realm and learned that Julian was still very much a part of her life here on Earth. Over time, Julian shared what has happened to him with his mother, as the afterlife had given him opportunity for reflection and continued learning. From across the veil, Julian supported his mom in her writing as she investigated the link between quantum physics and spirituality, while experiencing that a field of energy connects everything, so nothing is ever lost. Julian's passing opened a portal to this field of love, wisdom, and intelligence, and both he and Corine hope their story will bring healing to those who miss their loved ones. 'An eloquent elegy to life, loss, and eternal love. Corine's loss becomes the reader's gain as she shares a lifetime of spiritual wisdom made all the more potent when amplified from her connection with her son in the higher realms. A healing balm for those wrestling to understand death as part of our ongoing journey.' Suzanne Giesemann, spiritual teacher, medium, and author of The Awakened Way

Autor

Corine de Ruiter, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist and professor of forensic psychology at Maastricht University. Born in Varsseveld, in a rural region of the Netherlands, she developed a strong bond with nature. At age eighteen, she studied at Barton College, North Carolina, on a Fulbright scholarship. She continued her studies at Utrecht University and obtained her doctorate in 1989. In 1992, she married Joseph, originally from San Diego, and they had a son, Julian. Corine's research focuses on interpersonal abuse and trauma in relation to risk factors in both perpetrators and victims. She has received several awards, such as the Rüdiger Müller-Isberner Award from the International Association of Forensic Mental Health Services, honoring a career that epitomizes the fusion of clinical practice, scholarly research, and mentorship. Corine has taught workshops across the globe and is the director of an international two-year master's degree program in forensic psychology. In the summer of 2023, her beloved son Julian suffered a mental health emergency. He was admitted to the psychiatric department of Utrecht University Medical Center. After Julian's return home to Las Vegas, he relapsed and passed from an overdose, leaving her and his loved ones in shock. She wrote this memoir, with Julian's help, as a tribute to their love. Julian's passing to the spirit realm has opened her up to deeper spiritual awakening, with many unexpected helpers along her path. She hopes this book, with examples of her after-death communications with Julian, provides hope and healing to parents and all other fellow humans who are experiencing deep grief.
