Description

TELEVISION'S MEDIUM TELLS HER STORY IN HER OWN WORDSHer visions have helped solve crimes; her instincts have helped find missing people; she can predict future events and sense your thoughts. These are some of the extraordinary gifts that define the remarkable Allison DuBois, the real-life medium, wife, and mother whose life is the inspiration for the hit NBC television series Medium.When she was six years old, Allison's deceased great-grandfather came to her with a message for her mother: I am okay, I am still with you. Tell your mom there's no pain. Allison shared his comforting words with her mother and thus began a lifetime of creating connections between loved ones and those they have lost. The purpose of her gifts became clear when Allison worked as an intern in the homicide bureau of the district attorney's office and found that she visualized the crime as she handled the evidence. Allison now works as a profiler on criminal investigations.In this stunning audiobook, Allison shares fascinating stories of her encounters with people who have passed and her adventures as a profiler for various law enforcement organizations. With wit and compassion, Allison shows us what it is like to live with these special gifts and talents and also tells about her struggle to live a normal life as a devoted wife and mother.If you have ever questioned whether there is an afterlife, this audiobook will help you see that there is a living energy beyond death.… (more)

This psychic leaves a little to be desire. I
enjoyed reading how you can help children but
I found the writing to be very dry.

This book left me a little disappointed. After watching the t.v. show based on Allison DuBois' life and work ("Medium"), I was greatly intrigued to read about more of her psychic enounters. Yet, this book only talks about how to find your inner psychic and the difficulties she faced with accepting

her new found ability. Though, there were a few stories that left me with goosebumps. Overall the writing was average. I hope that Mrs. DuBois will come out with another book highlighting more of her experiences.

I found it interesting and sincere, even though I may not totally agree with the interpretation.
LibraryThing member estellen
Boring and unbelievable read. I've seen her in person found her to be quite authentic, but the book convinced me otherwise.
LibraryThing member LadyBlossom
For a book that is found in the body, mind and spirit section of your local bookshop this is one of the most critical and judgemental books I have ever read. The author is filled with so much self importance that at times it was a struggle to continue reading. For someone who is 'physic' she lacks

comapssion for her fellow travellers, she condemns and criticises those who do not follow her rules. Don't read unless you want a 'guru' to worship.

Ugh...I would be really interested in reading more about this woman's experiences, but this book is not that. This book is how to encourage and trust the medium that you know or may be raising. An interesting topic, but this book felt really defensive.
LibraryThing member MerryMary
Allison DuBois is the medium that is the inspiration for the tv show called - coincidently - Medium. In this book she discusses the realities of her daily life, and the words of guidance she uses with young people (including her own daughter) who show signs of being gifted. Interesting, and

Allison describes her life, and fascinating psychic gift. One reason she wrote Don't Kiss Them Goodbye was that she didn't get the emotional support she needed when she discovered her abilities, and wanted to help young psychics and their families understand and accept their unusual skills. Being

tested and validated at the Human Energy Systems Lab (Arizona) helped her fine-tune her abilities, giving her additional confidence to continue helping law enforcement agencies. Allison also hopes the book will help people accept real psychics and recognize cons.

Unfortunately most of Don't Kiss Them Goodbye is disjointed and choppy, and not well-edited. The last few chapters are more focused. This a fast read about an intriguing life - don't let poor editing stop you from reading this.

This book is both very sad and very inspirational. The author, Allison DuBois, is the woman whose life formed the inspiration for the TV show Medium. This book explains how she came to realize her talent and how she came to use it for good. It contains several actual cases and readings she has

worked on and is finished by a chapter about what it is like to live with a medium, written by her husband Joe.

This is an excellent book that is an easy read, and it will have you run the full gamut of your emotions before you are through. Well worth picking up.
