Who Would Benefit
Anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Allison’s gifts and anyone hoping for more clarity about the loved ones they have lost, will feel at home in this book.
What I Loved
The structure of this book is genuinely unique and gives your sense of discovery choices: It moves between two sides of loss, the client’s and the reader’s, so you can open to the exact chapter that speaks to your own kind of grief without needing to read cover to cover first.
Opportunities & Challenges
Because each chapter stands on its own, Allison's book gives comfort on demand. Whatever is present for you in a given time of your life, a fresh loss or an old one quietly resurfacing, there is a section written for exactly that need. Every story is different but the message underneath never wavers: love creates a connection that death cannot break.
Some of these stories genuinely tug at the heart. Keep the tissues close, there are pages that ask for them. What stays with you long after isn’t the sadness though. It’s the awe and gratitude of knowing our loved ones remain with us in spirit.
My Review
Reading We Are Their Heaven by Allison DuBois feels like sitting across the table from someone who has spent her whole life listening to the dead and has never once needed you to believe her before she will tell you what she heard.
Allison opens the door on both worlds at once, this one and the one that keeps quietly nudging at its edges. She does it without ceremony or performance. Many will recognise her name from the television series “The Medium”, based on aspects of her life and her work.
Where the series gave us drama and resolution inside an hour, the book gives us something slower and far more honest. There is grief here that doesn't tie itself up neatly. There are cases that stayed with Allison long after the credits would have rolled on a fictional version. Real life asks more of a person than any script ever could, and Allison lets us see the true weight of that without flinching.
I loved both: the long running tv show for giving my own experiences a shared visual, the book for the deeper clarity it gave those same experiences. Allison’s honesty within the pages shine with vulnerability and tenderness. She doesn't polish her stories into something more comfortable to read. She lets the loss sit exactly where it lands, then she lets the love that survives it sit there too. Each chapter reads like a conversation rather than a lesson and that distinction matters. Allison never asks you to simply take her word for it. She lays her own perspective beside the perspectives of her clients and family. That choice makes the effect feel less like being told a story and more like being trusted with one.
As I read, I found my own loved ones surfacing in my mind, the ones still here and the ones who are not. That is the real measure of a book like this. It doesn't just tell you about someone else's connections. It reaches into yours and asks you to look at them properly, perhaps for the first time in a while.
One line stayed with me longer than the rest: “Make no apologies for who you are,” passed down to Allison from her father. I wrote it out and placed it on my altar, where I will see it daily. Another thread running through the book landed just as deeply, the quiet reminder that every day that passes is a day closer to being reunited with those who have crossed over. Said plainly like that, it could sound heavy. In Allison's hands it becomes something closer to comfort, a reason to live this life fully rather than fear its ending.
Allison’s writing is direct and unadorned, which is exactly what makes it so easy to sit with. You don't need to be well versed in the spiritual world to follow her. You only need to have loved someone. Whether you come to this book looking for comfort, for understanding or simply for the sense that you are not the only one who still talks to people who are gone, We Are Their Heaven offers a warm and compassionate hand to hold. It doesn't ask you to believe anything. It only asks you to stay open, the same invitation Allison has clearly been extending her whole life. It encourages you to honour your own gifts and stories, just as Allison honours hers. A true gift to us all.
