Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes: Helping Parents Heal

Brian Smith Talks About Helping Parents Heal

Brian Smith is with us for the second time. He grew up in the Pentecostal religious tradition, later became part of an evangelical community, and after that became a Christian Universalist, after which he went on to study Buddhism and various mystical traditions. As a young man, Brian says that he was pretty deeply scarred by toxic religion, which, among other things, instilled in him an intense fear of death, and that made him enter a lifelong spiritual quest. As a result of even more reading, he eventually found much of what he had been seeking. So then, he was living a beautiful life with his wonderful wife of now nearly thirty years, and his two young daughters. But then in June of 2015, his younger daughter, Shayna, unexpectedly transitioned in her sleep. She was only 15-½ years old. After Shayna’s transition, Brian’s spiritual quest intensified, prompted by the extraordinary visions and messages that he was receiving from his daughter. As a result of those experiences, he immersed himself in researching the afterlife, taking a scientific as well as a spiritual and philosophical approach to it. He says that now he felt that he really needed to know, not just believe, what was true! And he learned so much that he ended up writing a book. His book is entitled, Grief 2 Growth; Planted. Not Buried. He now shares all that he has learned as a teacher and grief counselor with the wonderful organization, Helping Parents Heal. Brian’s website is www.grief2growth.com
