The Ghost Marriage

Today on The Dead Life you’ll hear from Kirsten Mickelwait, author of the book “The Ghost Marriage”. I’m interested to find out about her life and her experiences with The Otherside. Did her deceased husband make contact with her? And what prompted her to write her memoir?
I love the book’s opening quote by Mary Oliver-
“Someone I once loved gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.”
