My Search for Christopher on the Other Side

De: Joe McQuillen

Narrado por: Doug Greene

Joe takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride discovering messages from his son, Chris who died too young or, according to Chris, at just the right time. This is a beautiful and touching story filled with grief and heartache, with just a touch of humor in all the right places. His story will illuminate your path to healing after a tragic loss and allow you a glimpse of the other side.

JOE McQUILLEN has been married for 27 years and is a father of three children, one on the other side. Joe was the youngest of 10 children from an Irish-Catholic family. Although Joe has had two successful careers, he is at heart a blue-collar kid from Buffalo, NY. Starting as a salesman, he spent 25 years in the automobile business and worked his way up to executive manager and partner in a number of successful Chicagoland dealerships. After selling out in 2009, Joe began a second successful career as a mortgage broker and is currently with Chicago Financial Services.

Among his many charitable associations, Joe sits on the board of ln Balance Ranch Academy, a boarding school dedicated to helping troubled teens with addiction. Following the loss of his son, he began running a charity golf outing to benefit both In Balance Ranch and Penguin Players, a theater troupe of disabled young adults (mostly Down syndrome).

Joe, 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." His journey has led him both to speak to teens with addiction and write this book. Joe has pondered the possibility that he may yet one day turn the tragedy of his son’s death into a new, third, career, one which may well be the most fulfilling of his life.

Honest and sincere

This book was written with all of us parents in mind who have lost a child Joe honestly shares his grief openly. His words ring true to how we feel and give hope that we can find a way to connect ourselves.

A guys guide for connecting after a terrible loss.

I read the book and loved it but wanted to go over some of the chapters again and found listening to it while driving was a perfect way to do it. Joe’s story brought tears to my eyes a bunch of times while giving me hope - and confirming that death doesn’t mean complete loss rather it’s a change in the way communicate. But w ones we love we are still able to connect - they’re no longer in the room but they’re still with us.

Great story

i think the production and audible performance were superb. I felt it was read just the way it was written.... and I should know

Unbelievably Thought Provoking

This is a subject that was once a non factor for me. But curiosity and mortality awareness drove me to this book. Christopher's story, as told by Joe has opened my mind to a world I only suspected existed before. I think the book was beautifully written, well performed, and offers alternatives to those suffering from a loss, and a new perspective for all. This was a 5 Star read.

Thanks for opening my mind!!!

The book was an amazing journey into another world. Very thought provoking and inspiring. I loved it. A must read for anyone who has lost someone they loved.

Amazing

I love this book! Has really helped me separate the spiritual world from the natural world. Your ability to connect to the other side is a gift.

Great Book

Loved this book! So glad you are able to connect to your beautiful son. What an amazing closeness you share. Love the insight on the other side. Would love to hear how things are going with Christopher today? Love...Hugs...& continued communication ♥️

Excellent Story About the Other Side

Very well written story. Humorous and sad at the same time. There were some briefings of what Christopher saw on the other side. It does sound like a type of heaven. A happy place. Something to look forward too after the passing. It shows that many souls are not happy to be at this place called earth. Depression can set in quickly. This can happen to anyone. Good book I highly recommend.

thank you Joe Mc Q ...excellent and uplifting

thos is a great listen.. very inspiring..his love for his son is palpable through the book.. reminds me of my son amd his father's deep bond.. will turn to this story on my 'doubty' days. thanks Joe💚

Allows me to have hope

Chris’s story is so close to so many people who have connections with those on the other side. Definitely needed to hear these words after my mom and aunt passed away this past year. Also lost my cousin a couple months before my mom passed. So grateful for books like these! Thank you thank you thank you.
