CONTINUING LOVING BONDS

Read Reviews of Together Still: Love Beyond Death

“I finally picked up your book. I have to say that I could not put it down until I travelled through it! I am so very appreciative for your openness, and wildly wonderful expression through the written word. I feel like a piece of your being and John’s, have flowed into my life and touched me deeply. What a ride through the pain and beauty of life and death. I am so grateful that you are sharing your story with the world. People really need this. I think souls are longing for that which they already know in their hearts to be reflected back to them, in your journey.” (Michelle Havixbeck, Threshold Circle, Sept 10, 2025)

” I just finished your newest creation. It’s a masterpiece. Beautifully put together with so much to say. I truly admire you and John and your efforts to live and die meaningfully and intentionally. Bravo. “ (Andrea Eaton, September 6, 2025).

What a page-turner. your book kept me engaged; much like a good mystery novel. Your story shares not only the love between you and John, but gives readers permission to lean into their experiences. Your memoir creates a safe space for others to explore without the worry of being labeled, or worse, locked up.  Bereavement IS a time of extreme vulnerability and healthy skepticism is critical. Intellectually we understand the transition, but there is more. So much more; not just the death of our loved ones, but transitions (deaths) going on world-wide (health care, jobs, stock markets, politics, the list is endless). Fear often surrounds change/death ~ and as we know, there is plenty of fear going around at this time. Thank you for speaking to healthy skepticism in the Afterword. Truly! Thank you!” (Roxanne Hanneman, Whole Heart Healing, May 4, 2025).

I really enjoyed your book and learned so much! I experienced such a hope-giving and peace-full feeling by the end! (Kim Barnard, April 20, 2025)

Congratulations on your book! What a wonderful accomplishment and such a beautiful message to share. It’s heartwarming that your book is able to bring that sense of hope and a reminder that grief is simply the love for those dear ones we’ve lost attempting to find a place to go. I know this is an important message for many to hear and I appreciate that you’ve taken the time to create this for the world. (Elena, The Mission JOY Team, April 17, 2025)

I bought two copies of your book – one for me and one for a friend who lost her husband a few years ago. I gave the book to my friend today when we met for our weekly walk. She texted this evening to share that she was already half way through Together Still. She was very moved. Your experiences speak to hers in a beautiful way. I, too, am nearly through your book. I am so very grateful for your wisdom and thank you for generously sharing your and John’s continuing love story. (Di Hinton, April 15, 2025).

A very inspirational journey! I admire how Linda met the challenges of grief and loss head on. Her love for her family and her investigative, inquisitive loving mind enabled her to accept and embrace her beloved John’s spirit and her beloved Mum’s spirit. Her focus on their loving bonds made it possible for her to survive and grow from the trauma of their deaths. Everyone who has felt the spiritual presence of someone they love will be very interested in what Linda has to say. I have bought another copy of Linda’s book for a friend who lost her husband three years ago. She has had similar experiences of knowing her late husband is in the room with her. (Christine Pollard, April 8, 2025)

I am just over halfway done reading your book and it is so beautifully written. Thank you for sharing this with the world. Your story is incredible. I never got to meet John but the way you write about him paints a wonderful picture of a wonderful man. (Myla Barber (our Grand-daughter-in-law), March 1, 2025)

“Linda is a beautiful writer and photographer with a deep love of nature. This will be a treasured book.” (Judith Savory, January 26, 2025)

Such beautiful experiences, beautifully written, love IS spiritual. (Janet Cundall, January 21, 2025)

How absolutely wonderful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, your grief, your vulnerability and your connection. (Ray Hulbert, March 18, 2025).

Read reviews of Continuing Loving Bonds Story Sharing Circles

Thank you very much for facilitating Continuing Loving Bonds Story Sharing Circles. I think that what you are doing is an absolute, humanizing gift, and I have no doubt that it will help people to grieve and to heal, and perhaps to build community in the process. (Joshua Lazerson, The Listening Project, May 9, 2025)

Linda Hill is a wonderful host, moderator and facilitator with a spirit of generosity. I experienced much learning, listening, witnessing and sharing stories during the continuing loving bonds circles on zoom. Many gifts of reflection. I highly recommend the healing “Continuing loving bonds” circles. A safe, sacred container “where we can hold and uplift” and share connections on our grief and life journey. Each week has been like an evolving picture. I have enjoyed too, hearing excerpts from her descriptive memoir and look forward to reading her latest book. (Catherine Fraser, February 25, 2025)

Thank you for the lovely sharing circles. You hold such a beautiful space for people to share stories and create connection. I look forward to joining in again when I can. I love how the stories weave a fabric of community. (Karlin Creed, February 18, 2025)

Linda Hill has a wonderful way of building relationships – both with those who have gone before us, and with those left to grieve and figure out how to move on in a world that is now minus the physical presence of one we have loved deeply. Whether we are reading Linda’s memoir or gathering with her for meaningful conversations, we are challenged to think beyond the physical. Could it be that this world is just the womb world for the birth of our “Soul” into that mysterious and wonderful world of light, referenced by so many who have had near death experiences as well as those who continue to experience “loving bonds” with those who have departed this physical existence? Linda makes a good case for such a possibility. (Lynn Smith, February 4, 2025).

By reading Linda and John’s wonderful love story and participating in the on-line sharing circles, I have been rewarded with vivid images, cherished quotes and renewed energy for finding the joy in past, present and future relationships. Even the bibliography is read-worthy and well researched. (Guida Atkinson, January 30, 2025)

I have just spent a few months in a group with Linda, listening and learning about her life with John. They had an incredible life together on earth which is still continuing. Linda’s stories are dynamic as is her life and her love of people. I had a completely different life, but felt so accepted by everyone in her group, that I was able to share and release my pain that I rarely had been able to before. Thanks Linda for your unconditional healing love. (Marlene Cmikiewicz, January 31, 2025)

I am so looking forward to reading Linda’s book. For the past few months since my husband’s death I have been blessed to participate in a story sharing circle led by Linda. It has been an amazing, supportive and affirming experience for me. I am thankful for all the openness, gentleness and yes, even humor within the group. (Mary Dolan, January 28, 2025)

I was so lucky to be able to read a pre-production copy of “Together Still: Love Beyond Death” and to participate in a “Continuing Loving Bonds” sharing circle. Love continues. It never dies. It transmutes but is still tangible. When we have these experiences, we aren’t losing our minds after all — ha ha ha! I highly recommend this book! (Kim Bowden-Kerby, January 29, 2025)
