Welcome to my Sunday Book Review. Today I’m reviewing a book that jumped out at me when Hay House was offering special pricing on their spiritual collection – Love Never Dies: How to Reconnect and Make Peace with the Deceased by Dr. Jamie Turndorf.

Blurb:
Find out why the world has fallen in love with Love Never Dies, the no. 1 International Bestseller by famed relationship therapist, author and media personality Dr. Jamie Turndorf, aka Dr. Love. Famed relationship therapist, author and media personality Dr. Jamie Turndorf —known worldwide as Dr. Love— shares the amazing true story of her spiritual reconnection with her beloved deceased husband, internationally renowned former Jesuit priest Emile Jean Pin. Discovering for herself that relationships don’t end in death, Jamie recounts her remarkable experience where, through the depths of her grief after Jean’s sudden passing, her husband made known his continued presence–and undying love.
Drawing on these personal encounters, Jamie has created a groundbreaking new form of grief therapy that combines her acclaimed conflict-resolution techniques with after-death communication. The result: an unprecedented method that enables the bereaved to reconnect, resolve unfinished business, and make peace with the deceased.
Filled with dozens of examples of spirit contact and communication, this book eliminates any doubt about life after death and shows that contact is ongoing. Loved ones in spirit don’t just linger briefly before going to “heaven” and disappearing from your life. Rather, heaven is a state, not a place, and your loved ones have an eternity to support you and heal any issues left behind when they passed on.
Come to recognize the numerous signs from spirit that you may have been missing. Learn to trust yourself and the process that’s right for you–not a shortened, artificial grief period prescribed by conventional doctors. Practice techniques for heightening your senses, expanding your awareness, and entering an open state, culminating in Jamie’s method for Dialoguing with the Departed.
When connection and love live on, fear is banished and relationships can grow and heal as never before. Begin opening your mind and your heart today!

My 4 Star Review:
Death is not the end. This book leaped out at me when I came across it. As one who is spiritual and have experienced connections from the beyond, this book warmed my heart as a widow who has lost the love of her life. These pages spoke to me.
The book is written, not as a ‘how to’ or instructional guide, but as a memoir told by the story of Dr. Jamie Turndorf – aka, Dr. Love, who fell in love with a once Jesuit priest, Emile Jean Pin – two soulmates with a span of almost forty years between them in age, and a love that never died. Although I don’t need any confirmation that my husband’s spirit is always around me, this book is an eye-opener about a love that spanned beyond Emile’s life on earth.
Dr. Turndorf grew up atheist with two atheist, born Jewish parents. She says she risked her reputation as a therapist to write this book. And talks about her Core Therapy sessions in healing that enables people to help mend old scars.
This is Jamie’s story. She knew as a young child coming from a dysfunct family that she wanted to be a psychologist to help people when she got older. She also promised Jean that she’d tell their story in hopes to help others with fears of dying, loving, and losing. Adding that, love never ends.
Dr. Turndorf aims to show the western world that grief isn’t – grieve, let go, move on, stating there is no timeline for grief. She unravels the societal norms and public journals that take the wrong generic approach to grief, and the stigmas attached to grief. So she created a new grief therapy method after Jean died, when she realized she could feel and hear his presence after he passed, to help the bereaved reconnect instead of saying goodbye to a loved one. She discusses the fact that the medical profession is always so ready to give someone a pill for everything, and shares her opinions on not drowning out the grief but living through the pain to move forward with grief. As a griever myself, I don’t agree with all of this because there are just days when it’s good for my sanity to medicate. Every grief is unique and requires different methods for the rough days.
This is a beautifully moving telling story about how love never dies and the earthly story of a great love and the capturing of that love in spiritual form.
With that all said, I have to mention that the author speaks a lot later in the book about her husband’s spirit and moments that were witnessed by others. I’m an empath and clairscentient, so I am familiar with spirit. But for those who are a bit skeptical, you may not appreciate the stories.
This book would appeal to anyone with an open mind and curiosity for what comes after death, and to anyone who has loved and lost.
