About this ebook
With poetic gentleness and vulnerable integrity, Linda Hill's memoir, Together Still: Love Beyond Death portrays Continuing Bonds: A compelling approach to end-of-life accompaniment, death care and bereavement.
For four adventurous decades, Linda and her beloved spouse, John Scull, explored the world with wonder and curiosity. They loved each other, their families, and friends wholeheartedly. They cared for nature and their community with spirits of generosity. After John was diagnosed with a terminal illness, the couple resiliently continued their loving ways of accompanying each other as they travelled to the horizon of John’s life.
When John died, Linda was utterly unprepared for what was about to happen. At first, she diagnosed her spiritual experiences as illnesses and dismissed John’s after-death communication as wishful thinking. Fortunately, John persisted in doing everything he possibly could to let her know he was still with her. Their reciprocal, spiritual bonds transformed Linda’s off-kilter journey through her heart-fracturing grief into a heroic odyssey of what she calls “re-orbiting” around love and happiness.
Each chapter of Linda’s beautifully written memoir intertwines romance, spirituality, and the healing power of cultivating and continuing loving bonds. To this day, John reaches out to Linda through spiritual communication, messages in nature, uncanny coincidences, and visitations in her dreams. Linda reaches out to John through meditation, journalling, creative arts, memorial events, joint legacy projects, and adventures of being alone but not alone. Although everything—absolutely everything—is now so very different, they are together still, loving beyond death.
