Opening A personal story of Mediumship Grief and Family Healing

One afternoon, Ashley received the most dreaded of phone calls: her brother, Ryan, was dead. A victim of childhood bullying, Ryan had struggled with addiction for over a decade. Ashley was devastated, but soon discovered that Ryan's soul was still very much alive as he began-almost instantly-to communicate with her, offering comfort in the face of her staggering loss.

Ashley was not surprised by her other-worldly connection to her brother; identifying as an intuitive medium, she has felt a connection to spirits and their energies since early childhood. Having spent much of her life healing from her own traumas to bring forward the most integral parts of herself, she felt naturally compelled to use these gifts to help her family heal their sorrow and come together after Ryan's death.

Richly textured with childhood memories and sparkling with spirit, Opening is a stunning memoir of grief, resilience, and the kind of love that transcends the boundaries of time and space.
