“Lyn Ragan has done it again with another fabulous
account of Afterlife communications. This book recounts
the realer than real communication between two lovers—
where one is still living here and the other dwells on the
other side.”
“Lyn’s dream state magically merges into waking life
and with unwavering precision, she recounts the dialogue
between her and Chip, her deceased fiancé. Lyn’s detailed
recall will leave you wondering whether she was in this
dimension or the next. I have never witnessed a closer
relationship between two people in separate dimensions. If
you wonder if life goes on after we die, you will be
convinced it does after reading this one!”

“Lyn shares a dazzling story of life after the passing of
her true love, Chip. It is a back and forth journey between
here and the other side that leaves you cheering and rooting
for continued communication. If you’ve ever questioned if
the soul continues on after the physical body ceases,
wonder no more.”

This is a true story. Some names, places, and other
identifying details were changed to protect individual

facilitate the telling of the story.
Chapter One
Part 1
New Beginning’s
When one life ends, another begins…
T he future is an absolute unknown. When looking into the
eyes of a complete stranger for the first time, the last thing
imagined is unspeakable tragedy.
The moment I gazed into Chip’s eyes, an undeniable burst
of sparks hit me like a ton of bricks. A warning of sorts. “Stay
away!” It was mandatory. If I didn’t, a very big change would
come and I knew it.
At that time, the strange emotions stirring around were
thought to be because I was married. As luck would have it
though, I found myself headed directly into the line of fire
making a beeline straight to a divorce.
Years earlier I knew my twelve year marriage wasn’t
healthy and that living in separate bedrooms was entirely too
easy to get accustomed to. I was very comfortable and to be
honest, I’ve never been one to like change. It was much easier
to stay put, to be secure, than it was to head into something
unknown.
WE NEED TO TALK
As for the new stranger, this man who had eyes that
burned a hole into my ever-sinking heart, I vowed I wasn’t
ready for a new relationship. It had been fourteen years since
being single and I needed to find me again. Somehow, I had
lost myself so badly into what someone else wanted me to be, I
forgot my own likes and dislikes. Whatever was to happen
down the road was certainly going to happen, I instinctively
knew that, but I also knew I had to put my foot down too… no
darn relationship.
Well that all lasted a whopping three months or so after
my separation. Chip, with his beautiful, sparkling, ocean blue
eyes, was no stranger to going after someone he took a liking
to. He was a persistent little pest.
I did, however, hold true to the one thing I knew I had to
accomplish, no serious relationship. During the first year of our
courtship, time had a way of standing in between us for a day
or so after we went on a date. It was easy to stay on course. I
don’t know why we did that—let time stand in the way—it
wasn’t something either of us asked for or even planned, it just
happened. But that space of time allowed me to think of other
things. To be blunt, it allowed me to keep my feelings in check
and not fall in love with him.
But, oh my gosh, did I ever enjoy the heck out of Chip’s
company. Only a couple of weeks into our friendship and I
swore I had known him my entire life. We quickly became best
friends and literally could talk about anything. Well, anything
other than a couple of rules he put in place from the get go.
One, we weren’t allowed to discuss religion. And two, no
politics. He said by us discussing these two topics, our
relationship might fall into fleeting waters and he didn’t want
that to happen. It didn’t really bother me. I wasn’t a religious
