Grief Talk w/ Vonne Solis

My guest on this episode is author and award-winning artist, Marie Antoinette Kelley. Her recently published children’s book, “Danny’s Day in Heaven” with the afterword by Dannion Brinkley, author of "Saved by the Light", is the first children's book of its kind. It teaches parents how to start the conversation with their children about death and the afterlife and that it is not something to fear. But rather that our loved ones are never gone, as evidenced by both science and the messages and teachings of people who have experienced near death and share what the afterlife is like. "Danny's Day in Heaven" is both written and illustrated by Marie Antoinette, who has commissioned hundreds of portraits, as well as the art for the Angel Quest Oracle. She has appeared on multiple TV, radio, and podcast shows, and been published in magazines, including Edge and Authority. In 2019, Marie Antoinette's bison portrait in the form of woven blankets began selling throughout Yellowstone National Park’s general stores. Please join us in this compelling conversation that inspires all of us to reconsider death, the afterlife and the ways in which we can connect more deeply to Spirit and our loved ones on the other side.
