The Dead Speak on Life Before and After Death: Part One

By Darlene Raine

At thirteen, author Darlene Raine first learned of her divine gift when her deceased fraternal grandmother appeared to her at night by floating above her bed. It took Darlene years to come to terms with her abilities. In all her meditations, she was told to write. For years, she resisted her calling and purpose. But now, in The Dead Speak on Life before and after Death, she provides a window into her unique life that includes her communication with spirits, animals, guides, saints, and angels.

With a sprinkle of humor, she shares her journey from her first spirit sighting as a teenager to an adult who has made peace with her divine gift. She gives a voice to four spirits she knew and loved in life. These spirits speak about their life on earth, life on the other side, and what they learned by crossing over.

Filled with love and wisdom from the dead, The Dead Speak on Life before and after Death demonstrates the dead continue their joyous life as spiritual beings on the other side. They try to communicate with you to let you know they want you to be happy, they are sorry for the hurt and pain they caused you, and you don’t need to fear death. Your loved ones are not lost to you; the spirit is eternal.

When you saved my life multiple times, I saw your hand in it and was in awe of your love and protection. In honor of the divine and with great humbleness, I write. Thank you for all my gifts, blessings, lessons, and answered and unanswered prayers. With the divine (I AM), I know love, peace, and joy and that I am never alone because you are with me.

I am honored to have received guidance and support from angels, ascended masters, saints, guides, and spirits. My life has been blessed and enriched because of your love, support, and protection. Your presence has been a guiding force and has meant everything to me. You have my profound respect, admiration, and love.

It was my gift from birth. I wanted to be the same as everyone and to wear the label normal. It was very hard for me to accept my gift and feel I was blessed instead of cursed with a gift I did not ask for or want. I needed to fit in with what society deemed possible. I
