Reddit reviews Elsewhere

I totally believe I will see her again. I look for signs of her, and I see them. Of course a skeptic would say that I'm finding meaning where there isn't any. But, that's okay. I don't mind. I believe in the Resurrection.

Last week a ladybug landed on my mouse pad in my office. I like to believe that is my wife checking up on me. Two years ago at this time she was in hospice, and maybe she knows I could use some reassurance. Sometimes I can hear her admonishment, "Maoxiong, why aren't you behaving? You need to pull yourself together." Other times I can hear her saying, "I love you." I don't discount those small events. I can imagine her exasperation when I meet her again: "I tried so hard to give you some signs but you were too numb to notice! Haaaaa!"

I can't speak for anyone else, but yes, I see and feel her presence. It's hard to describe, but it is real.

This book, called "Elsewhere", is a very cute and sweet story. It's not religious but it's hopeful. My mom gave it to me right after my wife died. It's the kind of book a teenager might enjoy, so it's a very easy read.

I like to remind myself that faith and hope and love are all gifts, and I am thankful to be the recipient. I hope everyone can find peace wherever possible.
