    <![CDATA[<blockquote> <p> Medium Concetta Bertoldi answers all your questions about life after life </p> <p> . . . from the irreverent: <br/> (If the dead are always with us, do they have a XXX view of my bedroom?) </p> <p> . . . to the poignant: <br/> (Will my deceased father be with me when I walk down the aisle on my wedding day?) </p> <p> . . . to the heartfelt: <br/> (When loved ones leave this life too early or under tragic circumstances, are they eternally heartbroken or can they find peace in heaven?) </p> </blockquote> <p> Concetta Bertoldi has been communicating with the &quot;Other Side&quot; since childhood. In <em>Do Dead People Watch You Shower?</em>, the first-ever book of its kind, she exposes the naked truth about the fate and happiness of our late loved ones with no-holds-barred honesty and delightfully wry humor, answering questions that range from the practical to the outrageous. In addition she shares with us her own intimate secrets, revealing with refreshing candor how her miraculous gift has affected her life, her marriage, her friendships, and her career, as well as the myriad ways she has used it to help others. </p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[When I saw this book at the B and N, it was like I was a kid in a candy store because I HAVE always wanted to learn about mediums (legit mediums, that is).  Concetta Bertoldi is super down-to-earth and matter-of-fact (and funny!), and personally I believe that she's the real deal.  For the most part, I wasn't creeped out by any of the information because she doesn't deal with anything dark, only the spirits of loved ones who have died and want to deliver happy messages to their families who are still alive.  <br/><br/>However, some of the information related to reincartion was a bit hard for me to grasp.  It's plausable but I guess i'm just not used to that idea (that everyone we meet in this life, we've already known in another life in a different capacity).  I think in the end, there may be people, like mediums, who personally know much more about the afterlife than we do, but their understanding must also be limited; they are not perfect beings after all.  Shouldn't there also be an element of mystery?  I hope so.  But it is comforting to know/think that our loved ones who have passed on are living happily on the Other Side, as the author calls it.]]></body>
