The Light Between Us: Stories from Heaven, Lessons for the Living

by Laura Lynne Jackson

Some children are not meant to be here long. Some are here for only a short while, but in that time they learn and teach profound lessons about love. And their impact on the world doesn’t end when they cross. They are always around to teach us about love. Bailey was only here for fifteen years, but she continues to change our world for the better. Because of Bob and Phran’s transcendent love for her, they created the Forever Family Foundation. And now the three of them—Bob, Phran, and Bailey—work together as a team of light and healing.

Imagine if we could all see illness and adversity as opportunities to expand our love on a soul level.

Grief brings us great pain, but the Other Side teaches us that this pain is not about the absence of love—it’s about the continuation of that love. The brilliant cords of love that connect us to someone in this life endure into the afterlife. And when we feel unbearable pain at the loss of a loved one, it is like we are tugging on that cord of love. The pain is real because the cord is real. Our love doesn’t end—it goes on.

The most powerful way we can honor someone who has crossed is to spread light and love in their name.

Never feel that one person can’t change someone else’s life.”
