We Need To Talk: Living With The Afterlife

This book is a true labor of love written by Lyn Ragan alongside her sweet Chip! Their love still continues after his physical disappearance (murder) and reaches out to the reader in the most profound way! Lyn's account of her dreams that Chip is showing her are so detailed and palpable that I was left breathless as I myself relived every dream with her. I do believe that all of us can be open to After Death Communication but that Lyn truly was chosen to write about her and Chip's love story and continual existence after death. I love that Lyn states at the end of her book that one important component she failed to realize about life is -death. Whether it was her parents who failed to teach her or the schooling system or even an adult failing to discuss it her obsolete views about death were a learned behavior. She further states "I have to believe my reaction to Chip's rapid disappearance might have been different if I had been cultured about death in a spiritual sense. If somewhere in my life this was said, death is a celebration for the one releasing the human body I would have had the choice to grieve another way. If someone would have told me that communicating with the Afterlife is a natural process and just because we die a physical death, that doesn't mean our soul dies too". That is why I chose to call this book a labor of love because Lyn and Chip through their love are reaching out to help others understand just what Lyn and most of us don't. LOVE NEVER DIES AND NEITHER DO OUR LOVED ONES! Thank you so much for this beautiful story of love that reaches across the dimensions to educate others. You didn't have to write it but you did!!!

I happened upon this book by coincidence. (fort the record, I don't believe in coincidences) I have read a ton of books on ADC's, NDE's, OBE's, and the like. I find the subject fascinating. So, when I came across 'We Need to Talk' I thought, what the heck. Sounds like a good book, right up my reading alley.Well, little did I know that I would LOVE this book! It captured my attention in the beginning because it read like a fiction book, and I was intrigued! Most of the books I've read are more on a scientific, and fact based approach. This book was more....softer if you will, very refreshing. The book is well written and down to earth. The loss we all have either had or will have at some point in our lives is devastating...this book helps to really and truly understand where we go and how we really never do go 'anywhere'.I highly recommend this book BEFORE you lose someone you love. It will help anyone and everyone who needs to heal and understand. The author went through her loss and devastation so she could share with us what she learned from her loss, that there is no ending to life and love.

Although this subject matter is very close to my heart, as much as I anticipated loving this book, I have to say it is painful for me to read.My own dreams leave me exhausted and confused upon waking ('normal' dreams, not 'visitation dreams'). Spending a lot of my REM sleep in a dream state with dreams that make no sense and are fragmented basically annoys me. There isn't one night when I don't go to be and pray for am peaceful night with dreams that at least make SOME sense and don't have me running around...searching for someone, or something...climbing stairs, in elevators. It's just not fun having all this commotion in my head when I am trying to rest my mind during sleep.What this book does is give me all that, but even worse. The author's dreams (which she seems to love) make me insane. I can't imagine having a loved one put me through all that. It's not like her dreams are ones of tranquility (what I would expect a representation of The Other Side to be), but riddles and chaos....just like my every day dreams that make me wake exhausted. Reading this woman's dreams when I have a hard time making peace with my own is just not what I expected. I cannot say I would ever recommend this book to anyone. It does not in ANY way, leave me with good feelings like other books on the metaphysical do. It just puts me on edge. Maybe when I get to the end of this 'nightmare' I'll feel differently but right now, I am not enjoying this read at all.

Unbelievable, I thought I was spiritual but this takes it to a whole new level. I have had several experiences from the "Other side" but nothing like the extended experiences that Lyn had. She IS definitely medium material as she is psychic. I got a little lost a few times in the dream like experiences as I could not tell if it was a dream or real.A good read for those who have lost loved ones.

I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who has lost a loved one without any warning. I can still hear myself screaming the day I was told my son was dead.At first I couldn't understand the description of Lyns' dreams and thought I must have picked out the wrong book. However I stuck with it and am so happy that I did. This is an excellent writing and I'm sure I will read it many more times. I am reading every book I can find on death, after life.I'm still trying to find the signs Lyn talks about looking for. I have not searched for a Medium though I am considering it. I have only had one quick dream that I remember.

It was like reading my own life story. This book had my eyes stretched wide and kept me smiling from ear to ear. While reading I was calling relatives & friends who knew of the relationship me and my deceased loved one shared sharing parts that were just like us or said things he would say or do. There we so many similarities that sent me down memory lane. Oddly this is the very first time I read any book that was so relatable to my own life. I really enjoyed it and I'm glad I brought it.

A wonderful read! It is touching, heartfelt and sincere. I too have lost my fiancee in a sudden tragedy and have been receiving so many signs and communications, so this book by Lyn Ragan truly hit home for me! Any one who has lost a love should read this. It gives you hope that relationships truly never die. It is written from the heart and I hope this author keeps writing books and shares her experiences with her Chip!

I enjoyed this book mostly but found the dream messages slightly written about with my sceptic head and hard to have a complete belief in them. I hope it's all true but still need convincing.

Goes on and on but elaborating I think

A fascinating journey into a world which crosses over from the living to the deceased. I really enjoyed reading this book and it made me more aware of the meanings behind my own dreams of my deceased loved ones.

This book is a bit boring to me it's a bit far fetched,I've read a lot of after life experience books and this one to me is not as good as the others I have read.

Not as I imagined. It was good but more about dreams than anything else. Don't know what I was expecting but I personally was a bit disappointed with the book. Others may get more out of it than myself
