On today’s episode of the Soul Connection Duo Podcast, we connect with Kristin Lavin, author of the beautiful memoir, “The Butterfly Promise”. Kristin’s memoir is a story about eternal love, grief and the wonder of afterlife. Her book was a finalist in the IAN Book of the Year Awards. She also has a blog, “The Wondrous Journey of Being Here”, which explores self and planetary wellness, as well as the wonders of life. 

We feel so honoured to have been able to share this conversation with Kristin on loss and some of the other spiritual aspects of grief. Following the passing of Kristin’s grandmother, she struggled to find books that offered her comfort as well as answers to her questions about spirituality and the afterlife, which is what inspired her to write and self publish her own memoir. 

We discuss some of the truly beautiful moments in grief that Kristin shares in her book, as well as some of the signs and synchronicities that we’ve experienced from our own losses. This conversation also explores the messy (and crazy) parts of healing from the loss of a loved one, feeling alone in grief, ways we can begin to heal our hearts, the vast possibilities of an afterlife and reincarnation, and more! Kristin also shares a beautiful perspective in her book on grieving the loss of her cat which we discuss during this episode, as oftentimes the loss of a beloved family pet is the first experience many of us have with loss and grief. 

The Butterfly Promise is truly a book for anyone who has experienced loss or is beginning to explore the realms of possibility that exist outside of the physical, and we would highly recommend this read to everyone!
