Publisher's summary

If you could leave your true love one final gift, what would it be? This intense, moment-by-moment chronicle begins with the officer’s words, “She is deceased”. For the next 13 days following the fatal automobile accident of his wife, the author draws on nearly 40 years of study and training with gurus and meditation teachers to discover ecstatic love, save fractured relationships, and glimpse a greater arc and purpose for being alive.

The Final Gift of the Beloved: Her Disappearance - 13 Days is the story of one man’s sudden, astonishing brush with devastation and the Divine under the most heart breaking of circumstances.

A love story disguised as a tragedy, Steffen weaves extraordinarily poignant and powerful experiences with honesty and revelations that will change lives. Along with intense pain and emotion, prepare yourself for great beauty and transcendent insight, for nothing is as it appears.

The gift of love is awaiting you

Barron Steffen has written a raw, immensely vulnerable and revealing account of fully surrendering to love. With what begins with a heart-wrenching tragedy and loss, one is carried through Barron’s poetic, metaphorical, and searingly insightful account of his reeling journey to fully grasping the wealth of his loss, learning and embodying what love truly is. The immensity of his love for his wife demands of him the most lovingly ruthless self-examination, accepting nothing less than total surrender. The seemingly dual commitments of his love for his wife and his quest for spiritual liberation are revealed as one inextricably woven singularity. Particularly in this audio version, read with absolute immediacy, vulnerability and love by the author, I was swept up in the riptide of his journey, fully immersed in the ocean of every emotion and insight. In fully surrendering to and embracing his wife, Seana’s, gift of unbound love, Barron becomes that love, and in this book, shares that love freely with all who read or listen to it. I experienced this book as an ultimate tribute to Seana, her love and life purpose, and a testament to the unparalleled value of uncompromising spiritual practice and application, without which Barron may not have been able to transform a tragedy into a song of immense and beautiful love. This is a book that should not be missed. It is truly a gift of love meant for all of us. Regardless of degree of loss one may have or be experiencing, this book will shine a light on the path onward. I am immensely grateful to Barron and Seana for this gift. Listening to this reading was a transformative experience.

Exquisitely insightful and eloquent.

Barron, you spoke to my soul. I feel blessed to have been led to this poetic, and so intuitive expression of your deeply loving journey of consciousness. I am anticipating losing some of my family members and am trying to center and prepare myself. Barron has helped lead my way. Eventually I will work through my inner challenges, as you did. I will survive and evolve in union with my loved ones, communicating from deep within and through the beauty of nature and the divine.
