Our Forever Ben Letters from a Loving Mom to Her Son in Spirit, And His Poetic Replies

How easy is it to connect with a loved one who has passed? Jamie Lee Silver says it's simple, easy, and natural. She says you don't have to be a medium or have any special powers. Being open to the idea is all you need. That, and the willingness to give it a try. Every since her son, Benjamin Lee Silver, developed a fatal mental illness that lead to taking his life in July of 2015, Jamie and Ben have been conversing through pen and paper. Jamie now publishes these works, along with Ben's story, in the hopes of helping suicide loss survivors find comfort in connecting with their loved ones through this method of automatic writing. Ben didn't leave a note. Jamie got her note two weeks later, and anytime Jamie wants to connect with Ben she picks up a pen. Using this book, and her simple method, you can get and stay connected with your loved-ones-in spirit. Just give it a try.
