Bøker av Diana Thomson

Every mother's worst nightmare is to receive a shocking call bout the deal of a loved one - and when it's a child, it is a call that will change her life forever. To lose a child is anguis beyond beliefe ..... but to have one brutally murdered is incalculable. This is what Di Thomson went through. Her son, Mike, was killed by a gang of thugs as he fought to the death to protect his wife and young children. Her courage in those awful final minutes, when he stood alone and barehanded against scum armed with guns and knives, is valour beyond words. This is the story of a mother's indomitable love, a mother's bravery, a mother's refusal to be defeated and a mother's granite will to see something good come out of absolute evil. It is a true triumph of the human spirit. It is also a fascinating chronicle of communicating with departed loved ones. For those who think spiritualism is either "woo woo" or some arcane occult, this is a refreshingly honest and simply told account of how supernatural connection and conform can come in many different ways.Through Soul Connection, the author introduces readers to the peace of mind that she was able to find in the continued and constant messages and communications received from her son Mike in the afterlife. She also shares her passion to tackle crime in SA as well as helping others through various organisations dedicated to the memory of her son.
