We Never Left You
By Beth and Rick Olsen
Genre: Memoir
After
unspeakable tragedy, one couple must forge their own path to healing in the
bittersweet true story, We Never Left You.
One
moment, Beth and Rick Olsen were enjoying an ordinary life filled with all the
joys and frustrations of raising their two children, Jessica and Joshua. The
next moment, a drunk driver plowed through a red light at eighty miles per
hour, hitting their van and changing everything.
The death
of both their children launched Beth and Rick down a long and winding path
toward simple survival—and eventual healing. As shock gave way to the cruel
reality of their loss, they began receiving messages that proved the existence
of life after death—a welcome sign that aided them in moving forward.
The
Olsens soon attempted traditional healing methods but quickly found that
counseling did nothing to help them get a grasp on their monumental loss. They
then turned to nontraditional approaches—a decision that led them to Peru. It
was there they finally began to undergo the immense physical, mental, and
emotional changes that allowed them to understand everything—including the
accident—happens for a reason.
My Review
We Never Left You is a super emotional story. My heart felt heavy reading about the car accident that took the lives of Beth and Rick Olsen's children. This book has a good balance as the parents share their family's history, details about the car accident, bits of the trial, and healing. I was in awe of how the couple remained open to many different ways of healing and communicating with their children. I think that openness allowed them to find the peace they needed to embrace a new way to not only look at life, but fully live life. I really enjoyed reading about the spiritual experiences and highly recommend this book to all of those who have lost someone special. This is a book that will make you think.
