Our Last Valentine's Day - Navigating Life's Predetermined Paths

Sven Antonissen

Sinossi

A luminous memoir of love, loss, and the enduring power of memory, Our Last Valentine’s Day is the deeply personal story of Sven Antonissen and his beloved Goedele—a journey that begins with the spark of first connection and unfolds through the joys of building a life together, the trials of illness, and the profound lessons found in grief.
 
From the sun-dappled fields of their first meeting to the quiet, sacred space of their final days, Antonissen invites readers into the intimate world he shared with Goedele. Through evocative prose, he explores the beauty of ordinary moments, the resilience required to face devastating news, and the ways in which love can both anchor and transform us in the face of mortality.
 
At its heart, this book is a testament to the courage it takes to love deeply and to say goodbye with grace. It is a meditation on the rituals of remembrance, the healing found in nature and music, and the subtle signs that keep a lost loved one’s presence alive. With each page, Antonissen weaves a tapestry of hope, gratitude, and the quiet strength that emerges from heartbreak.
 
Our Last Valentine’s Day is not only a tribute to a singular love, but also a beacon for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of loss. It reminds us that even in the deepest shadows, love’s enduring luminescence can lead us home.

Applications of Impossible...

Natalie Sudman

This is an amazing true story of a female civilian employee of the Army Corps of Engineers in Basrah and Nasiriyah, Iraq. She was riding in a truck with other men when a roadside bomb destroyed the vehicle. Her body was so severely damaged that there was no possible way she could live. She vividly recounts her Near Death Experience when she went out of the body to the spirit world. There it was decided that her work on Earth was not done and with the help of spirit guides, they repaired the body so she could reenter it. She retained the conscious memory of what happened and during the time in the hospital, more details returned. This is the amazing story of a survival in wartime conditions. This has happened to many others in Iraq, but how many remember the spirit side of the experience? 
Before this experience, Sudman was dubious about anything that smacked of the paranormal. This experience made her a believer. She shares her story here for the first time to demonstrate that the paranormal is normal and to assist others who have had similar experiences. 
This is a book for anyone interested in near death experiences and out of body experiences. It is one of the first such book to come out of the Iraq conflict
