and to reach beyond to the mysteries of life is delighted to welcome Joe
McQuillen author of My Search For Christopher On the Other Side (//mysearchforchristopher.home.blog/about-the-author/) who in
his search for his lost son found the greatest truth there is…The other
side is real and knowing this is the greatest gift you can be given in
this lifetime.
As listeners have come to expect over the years Sheryl and her guests
share intimate stories memories and events that allow us to understand
our physical as well as our soul life aspects, and to know that we are
much more than our bodies. This seemingly dual nature is but an
opportunity to remember that we are spiritual beings having a physical
life. Experience is the way we advance personally and collectively to
grow in wisdom and love.
In today’s episode of Healing From Within Joe McQuillen will share his
journey from the pain and sorrow of the loss of his son Christopher in a
boating accident and the awakening discovery and acceptance he found
through mediums, research, and eventually direct communication with
Chris as he navigated his personal bridge to the other side.
When Joe is asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person
place or event that may have been meaningful to him and may have even
offered him or others a glimpse into the life he would embrace as an
adult he tells us about his large Irish Catholic family and growing up
in Buffalo which looking back offered him a way to grow beyond any
earlier challenge and embrace the spiritual aspects of life which made
it possible for him to conquer alcoholism and find a way to find
something valuable after the loss of his son in a boating accident. Joe
has lost many many people over the years but his understanding and
sensing that life is not random and we are living a life of our planned
preparation perhaps before we were even born, has given him the courage
to turn a hurtful situation and make some good come out of it by serving
people and sharing his discoveries through his connection with
Christopher from his place in his new spiritual life.
Joe tells us a little more about his own personal challenges before the
death of Christopher and how the death of Christopher encouraged a new
third career which might be the most fulfilling of his life. Joe Mc
Quillen has been married for 27 years and is the father of three
children one on the other side. Joe was the youngest of 10 children from
an Irish Catholic family and is at heart a blue collar kid from Buffalo
N.Y. Joe spent 25 years in the automobile business and his second career
is as a mortgage broker, He is involved with charitable associations and
sits on the board of In Balance Ranch Academy a boarding school
dedicated to helping troubled teens with addiction. Joe is himself 33
years sober and a member of AA a fact that has, in his words, “helped me
to get close to God and to carry me through the dark times after my
boy’s crossing..
When Joe met with mediums since Chris’ death he kept very good notes and
soon discovered that he would eventually write a book
Sheryl says that when she started her energy and mediumship work she was
told by another medium to journal all events as she would be able to
look back over the stories see progress, and all the many connections.
My books Life Is No Coincidence and The Living Spirit and my next book
are all taken from those journals. My next book New Life Awaits Creating
Your Best Afterlife by Living Consciously Now is the culmination of my
years as a intuitive healer medium and years of hospice volunteer work.
