If you've lost a loved one or had a brush with mortality, you undoubtedly have wondered about life after death--or if it's possible to connect with souls on the other side. After the tragic death of his son, Jordan, the author embarked on a journey for ways to communicate with his son across the veil. He discovered not only successful methods to connect with lost loved ones but also profound truths about the afterlife, the illusion of loss, and how pain is integral to our life purpose.

McKay recounts techniques he tried in order to connect with his son, including collecting unusual experiences from family and friends, consulting mediums such as Austyn Wells, undergoing past-life and between-life regressions, engaging in a technique called Induced After-Death Communication, and using channeled writing, which he learned with the help of psychologist Ralph Metzner.

The culmination of hundreds of channeled conversations with his son, the author presents revelations about the soul's life after death, the structure and key events of the afterlife, how karma works, why we incarnate, our future as souls, and how to love in the face of pain. As Jordan reveals, nothing is truly lost. The soul is constant and, while pain seems to damage us, the damage is an illusion. Because, as Jordan says, "there is no end; the conversation goes on . . . between all the souls who love each other, living and dead."

Review Quotes

"Matthew McKay makes a strong--and, in my view, convincing--case that science and spirituality belong together. He shows that we can expand our knowledge and learning tremendously if we let go of our obsession with measuring only quantifiable events and also accept multiple independent reports and observations of the afterlife as a valid source of information. This book grabbed and deeply moved me from the beginning and wouldn't let me go until I finished it--and then it continued to stir my mind and heart even while I was not actually reading it."-- "Georg Eifert, Ph.D., Chapman University Professor Emeritus of Psychology"

"Matthew McKay, a grounded man with a scientific orientation, was unexpectedly transported into an alternate reality cracked open from the passing of his beloved son, Jordan. This tragedy acted as a catalyst, thrusting him into a sphere of experience he had never anticipated. During Matthew's metamorphosis, he came to understand the continuity of consciousness after physical death and the possibility of communication between realms. He also learned to appreciate the subtle nature of such communication, which required him to tone down skepticism and 'trust that feeling.' His insights are a gift to us all, especially those who have suffered the pain of losing a loved one."-- "Mark Ireland, author of The Persistence of the Soul"

"Matthew McKay's Seeking Your Loved One on the Other Side chronicles a father's pilgrimage from the devastating loss of his son, Jordan, to the discovery of the eternal nature of the soul. Through the use of hypnosis, journaling, and spirit communication, McKay's book provides a lighthouse, offering hope and guidance for those navigating grief. This book is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the enduring bond between worlds."-- "Austyn Wells, author, spiritual medium, and soul gardener"

"Matthew McKay's story of seeking and finding Jordan after death is a masterpiece of psychic detective work, clairvoyance, personal faith, and cosmology that brings the living and the dead into alignment."-- "Richard Grossinger, author of Bottoming Out the Universe and Homeopathy as Energy Medicine"

"Once I started reading Matthew McKay's book, I couldn't put it down. His story takes the reader on a fascinating journey that begins with his unimaginable suffering over the loss of a son and ends with his profound insights into the ultimate nature of reality and an associated sense of peace and comfort. Because of the work I do, I particularly enjoyed his discussion of science and spirituality at the end of the book."-- "Allan L. Botkin, Psy.D., clinical psychologist and author of Induced After Death Communication"

"With Matthew, we are invited to touch the very meaning of life--and life beyond physical death. We find comfort in knowing that love and connection are eternal and unbounded. Yet we are challenged by the gap between the physical and the invisible, the ephemeral and the eternal, our biases or assumptions and the very purpose of life itself. This book is an enormous gift of hope and liberation that reminds us once more that death is not the end but a new beginning."-- "John P. Forsyth, Ph.D., coauthor of The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety and Your Lif"
