Rising Above Grief for People & Pets: A True Story of Love, Caring, & Sharing

By Philippa Kingsley

This book will not only connect you with your own experience of grief but shines a light for others who are struggling to come to terms with the loss of a person or pet.

Colin Tipping, author of Radical Forgiveness and Radical Self-Forgiveness

Philippa Kingsleys book offers a truly heartfelt and deeply personal account of her encounters with grief. You will be touched by her courage and honesty. True compassion lies at the heart of grief.

Dale Borglum, The Living/Dying Project, co-author of Journey of Awakening

I have been guided in spirit to share my most innermost thoughts and channeled writings of the experience of loss, letting go, and the transitions from the physical body of my darling father and beloved pets.

I am guided to help others who are suffering, or have suffered, whilst walking down the road of grief, with the realization that there is a beginning, a middle, and an end to this process, and with the awareness that you too will rise above grief and learn to live and laugh again.

Philippa Kingsley

Philippa Kingsley’s long-term quest for the spiritual grail has led her to discover that it is within all of us. VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing together with angelic guidance have been the catalysts for her realization and awakening to All That Is. A self-confessed “dogaholic” and animal communicator, the London native moved to Atlanta in 1996 with her husband and two dogs. Philippa has experienced the emotional earthquakes of loss and grief, and the combination of holistic and spiritual healing has given her the basis and understanding to help people and pets through love, caring, and sharing. www.healingpeopleandpets.com

LOVE AND LIGHT TO ALL WHO HAVE HELPED ME ON MY PATH

TO AWAKEN TO ALL THAT IS

There is no running order of importance to those mentioned here. Each one is special and important at different times, different stages, and in different ways. Some of the people are aware of the part they have played in my life to date, and some are not. It doesn’t matter. I love you all and always will from the bottom of my heart. Forget the egoic mind; there is just Divine Love. Remember this:

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

Firstly, I thank the Divine, Merlin, and the Angelic realm for showing me everything that I needed to learn for my growth on this earth at this time, and also for channeling this book through me. I thank my darling father and beloved dogs, who are in spirit, for all the love and support that they always give me from the other dimensions of time and space.

Thank you to all the VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing teachers: Ric Weinman, holder of the lineage; Anthony Gorman; Lorraine Goldbloom, Alexandra Marquardt; and Gailynn Carroll. www.vortexhealing.org

I am grateful for the angelic inspiration of Doreen Virtue, and for esteemed animal communicator and legendary teacher, Penelope Smith, who lives true to herself. Thank you, David Hand, physic and medium: we were meant to connect.

Diana Jones, my dearest spiritual friend in London, was the catalyst for guiding me to the power of the Angelic realm, and later guided me to discover VortexHealing® Divine Energy Healing. There is no co-incidence in anything in life.

Thank you to my wonderful and brilliant editor of this book, Karen Adler. The moment Karen and I spoke, I knew she was the right person for editing the book. She understood the deep spiritual essence of what was needed, as she had edited and published a metaphysical magazine.

We understood each other, and both have great humor, which is an asset in any relationship. She understood that it had to be my voice, although I decided that British grammar or phraseology had to be translated to American! She sometimes pushed me out of my comfort zone to think outside of what I thought was right, and made me see a different viewpoint or way of looking at a sentence or paragraph.
