Suggested Love Offering: $ 10.00

During the last year, in talking to families who have lost loved ones to covid, best-selling author and progressive medium Karen Frances McCarthy has met many people who are struggling to understand the arbitrary nature of these deaths, feeling guilty or regretful for not being at the bedside, and worrying if their loved ones are safe or at least at peace. Yet, in her work with the departed and the bereaved over the last ten years, one thing Karen has learned is that no one dies alone. At the moment of each transition – expected or not – there is always a gathering of loved ones from the unseen world to welcome them and offer comfort and guidance.

In a Q&A format, moderated by Court Stroud, Karen will share some experiences with her own loved ones and the gathering she witnessed at the time of their transition, as well as some experiences from her work with others. There will also be time for questions from participants.
