After Grief: The Magical Healings of Michael & Mary

About the Show

These stories describe what happened after the events in Mary’s two plays about adopting Michael as an adult and his death two years later — Part II: Meet the Rook & The Island Queen: Part III of Love on the Other Side of Death. Mary shares stories of healing her adopted son, Michael, from childhood pain through loving acceptance of his inner child. Two years after Michael died, Mary’s hidden grief started showing up in her body.

During this healing process, other past lives as mother and son emerged that helped heal the physical symptoms that worsened through grief, and transformed that grief into joyful acceptance
