About this episode

Stephen Simon spent his career in Hollywood making films that entertained millions — Somewhere in Time, What Dreams May Come, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. He didn't know his art was preparing him for his own life, with an epic love story that transcends death.In this episode, Stephen shares the extraordinary true story of meeting his wife Lauren across a crowded theater in Portland — a moment they both instantly recognized as fate — and the devastating loss of her in 2018. He opens up about the grief that brought him to his knees, and the moment 37 days later when he heard her voice, not with his ears but with his heart, guiding him to a song that changed everything.We talk about the book he co-wrote with Lauren from beyond the veil, the community of people quietly living this same experience, and why he believes the wall between this world and the next is thinning for all of us. Stephen also reflects on what it means to hold both faith and doubt at once, and why "certainty is the enemy of tolerance."This conversation is for anyone who has ever felt a sign from someone they've lost — and wondered if they were imagining it. You're not. 💙Purchase Stephen's book, What Dreams Have Come on Amazon: https://a.co/d/00puOsg7Visit Stephen's website at: https://www.ablepages.com/whatdreamshavecomeLove after Life Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19cFdyThDx/#AHAPodcast #AwakenHealAlign #WalkingEachOtherHome #SignsFromAbove #GriefJourney #LifeAfterLoss #LLM
