Publisher's summary

Claire Bidwell Smith follows The Rules of Inheritance with After This - an exploration of the afterlife that is part personal and part prescriptive, an invitation on a journey into the unknown.

In her therapy practice specializing in grief, Smith confronts the quandary of what happens next. In a dynamic five-part structure, she answers the unanswerable questions - will I ever see my parents again? Can my parents see me now, even though they are gone? Will I remain connected to my own daughters when I die? - for herself and for all of us. Chronicling our steps along the path that bridges this world and the next, she undergoes past-life regressions and sessions with mediums and psychics and immerses herself in the ceremonies of organized religion and the rigors of scientific experimentation.

After This is unique in the power of the personal that underlies the audiobook's message: What we believe about what happens next affects everything about how we live - and love - right now.

Thought provoking in life altering

This was a fantastic book. Best part of this book overall the author ends each chapter with a beautiful letter written to her daughters. I loved it thank you. The way the author approaches relationships made me jealous. I feel If I had the circuit of friends she has now, I would be happier. But beyond that the deep research she provided is impressive. I felt bad at time when she wasted 60 dollars to fraudulent spirituals, and still felt bad when she gave a lot of money to more popular ones.
I also felt hollow due to her lack of mentioning her husband. I assumed things are not good

Love the book and especially the love she offers to her children.

Thank you CBS.

I needed this so much. After losing several people to whom I was very close - I very much needed to hear your spiritual journey. Your experiences are insightful and have inspired me to connect with and honor those I’ve lost.

Completely captivating

This book brought me so much comfort in my own struggles of losing my parents. Wanting to seek out mediums, feeling crazy because of it and simply wanting to understand where they are. Thank you for this book Claire. It is so eloquently spoken and read.

Great book about our loved ones that have past.

They are always with us. They send birds, butterfly's etc to let us know. Some even come as owls!! You will learn a lot that gives you comfort. I like how its told from a person that was skeptical. Im not that kinda person. I fully believe my loved ones are always with me and will be there for me when its my turn to cross.

Beautiful and Warmly Exposed

This was such a heart warm explanation of life when we lose a love one. I loved how she wrote to her daughters at the end of each chapter. I could identify with a lot of her emotions and the struggles she had in understanding and wanting to communicate with her mom. It was a very interesting path that she is following. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that lost a love one.
