Introduction (first edition)
Dear Reader,
In Hawaii, on June 28, 1995, I married the man of my dreams. I thought we would live happily ever after in Paradise. For three weeks I lived in a state of bliss and gratitude. Then, at the age of thirty-three, my husband, Rock, unexpectedly died of a heart attack. I was totally traumatized and kept hoping I would wake up from the nightmare. I fell into a deep depression, having no idea if I would ever find my way out again.
In the middle of the night, after his death, I woke up hearing his voice in my head. He was singing the words of our wedding song to me. He continued to comfort me all through the night. I felt his presence whenever I was alone. It was difficult for me to talk about our communication with others because of their skepticism. I searched for books that might confirm my experiences and found none.
A year later, an inner voice urged me to write letters to my husband. I found it to be a profoundly healing experience. One day as I was writing about a challenging situation, I sensed Rock offering me guidance. For the first time I transcribed his letters to me thus beginning the Letters through the Veil, a record of our correspondence back and forth between the two worlds. At first, he only came through when I felt troubled. There seemed to be some spiritual energy that made communication easier at such times. I soon understood he wanted us to correspond on a regular basis. I learned how to tune those energies toward his frequencies in order to be in touch more readily. In our letters, we discussed our relationship and the meanings of both this life and the afterlife.
My goal is not to prove the truth of life after death or communication from the deceased. I simply want to speak of what has helped me. Mine is a love story, a self-help book, a journal and through an introduction to metaphysical concepts, a glimpse into the greater mysteries of existence.
After selling most of our possessions, I left Hawaii to begin a nine-month pilgrimage of healing, to find peace and joy again. I visited Florida, Georgia and Virginia and I traveled extensively in Europe (Amsterdam, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Greece). Each place had a part in my recovery. I worked with a Philippine psychic surgeon. I traveled far into the realms of the spirit world and reconnected with my husband. I awoke my passion for life and cleared out unconscious negative thought patterns. I learned the teaching power of plants, sacred rituals and trance dance. I experienced days of soul hunting to call back my power. On the Island of Corfu, I began to write the letters to Rock and there I danced with my soul for five days, feeling full of light, bliss and overflowing joy. My pilgrimage ended; I had found my way home to self.
I am a private person, so there is much that hasn’t been easy for me to disclose. Some of the letters have no closure because I didn’t finish them.
May reading my story in some way benefit you and awaken you to the truth of life.
Blessings,
Loryn “Solana” Walton
