Marshall Kent

Marshall Kent’s background in engineering and science didn’t prepare him for the surprise that his deceased wife, Gail, would help him write a book about grieving—from the other side. In fact, it instead prepared him to doubt what was happening. However the writing proceeded and over time it became obvious to him that it was Gail communicating through his hand. Indeed, half of the book, In Death We Do Not Part, is in her words, describing the experience of dying, the afterlife world, and how it relates to our living world.

Marshall’s mind was opened to such possibilities some 45 years ago by his two year old son who astonished them one day when he said to himself, “I used to be an old man and now I am a baby.” They had heard of reincarnation but neither had given it any thought. This prompted new exploration in this field and they discovered large amounts of supporting information, anecdotes, and phenomena that was fascinating but scientifically unproven. Nevertheless, they came to believe in an afterlife.

When Gail passed on Marshall went about the grieving process differently but in a way that was in keeping with discussions they had long before there was any hint of Gail dying. Over the months following her death, this alternative approach worked so well for him that he was encouraged by others to write a book about it. This is turn began a process of communication with Gail that still continues today.
