Linda Pendleton

Poetry is a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. The 19th century was an age of artistic renewal, rich in philosophy, poetry, and literature, and it was in the mid-19th century when Spiritualism came into the forefront and flourished in America and worldwide. Varied beliefs and practices grew from the conviction that the living and the dead could communicate and that there is a continuing life-cycle. Those beliefs were very much a part of the writings and social activities of many in literary circles. Dr. James Martin Peebles (1822-1922) was a leading American Spiritualist, prolific author, poet, clergyman, and physician. Dr. Peebles' literary endeavors and world travels allowed him an opportunity to meet many people within prestigious literary, political, and religious/spiritualists circles. Dr. Peebles wrote of the spiritual expressions of his friends and colleagues such as Walt Whitman, Emerson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Longfellow, and several other well-known gifted men and women. Within A Meeting of the Minds, we have the words of those who have enriched us with their sensitive understanding of the wonders and beauty of life.

This deeply felt, revealing book offers real hope for a healing of the mind and spirit as one moves beyond grief and comes to understand that loss is but a stepping-stone on the soul's journey and an opportunity for tremendous growth and new understanding. A Walk Through Grief is a reassuring testimonial of hope, comfort, and affirmation that love lives on forever. Linda Pendleton's story of her personal walk through grief following the sudden death of her husband, author Don Pendleton, in October of 1995, is a walk of a universal nature filled with emotions, pain, questions, fears, and is a journey most people are forced to take at various times throughout their lives. This book is written for those in mourning but also as preparation for loss and, most importantly, for a greater understanding of the life and death process. It became apparent to Linda shortly following Don's death that there is a void within grief literature as the majority of grief books deal with the religious or psychological aspects and avoid the spiritual (or paranormal) aspects that are often a common occurrence following the death of a loved one. Linda explores her own spiritual experiences and those of others who have lost loved ones in a revealing and enlightening manner which lends credibility to the understanding that consciousness survives death of the physical body. Her book is also a beautiful love story--the story of the deep love bond shared by her and her husband-and how that bond of love has not been broken by the dimensional changes that have occurred with death. Linda stepped across the bridge that separates the physical and spiritual realms and discovered healing, joy and purpose.
