The loss of her life savings during the Wall Street catastrophe in late 2008 pushes Maureen to the brink when trying to find ways to salvage her home while caring for her house-bound husband. Within days of reversing a foreclosure on their house, her world crashes when her husband suddenly dies. Upheaval becomes a theme as Maureen, overwhelmed with grief, stumbles through daily change that demand attention. With the help of loved ones and friends she begins a new life. Along the way there are many experiences which seem magical and almost unbelievable. As Maureen spirals downward into the agony of sorrow she begins to write. Her accounts of the depth of emotions are intensified by events she feels driven to write down. Would anyone believe her mystical experiences? Her words flow into often pungent stories where cryptic beings of light and ghostly remnants of loved ones are as familiar to her as the stars in the night sky. Poetry, which began just before her husband's death, seems to stream from her fingers. Discovering a local New Age (Spiritualist) community, Maureen finds there are others such as herself. She finds people not only believe her, they 'see' what surrounds her; the powerful energetic forces unseen by most humans. Connecting with new friends she finds staunch and gifted allies full of love and offering helping hands. Choosing tools from the philosophies of the New Age and Metaphysical community, Maureen begins a journey of healing and self-discovery. Grief haunts daily life and when she hits bottom she uncovers unshakable self-truth and a purpose for her life - her reason for remaining behind when all she loved seemed to be stripped away. Her healing was infused with a peaceful and profound joy. She moves from grief to hope. She is surviving. More than that, Maureen begins to bloom and to thrive.
