Life in the Afterlife

Kim Sheridan grew up in Southern California, surrounded by animals of various shapes and sizes, and she fell in love with rats before society had a chance to tell her not to. She also had psychic abilities she didn�t fully understand, and from a very early age, she was fascinated with paranormal phenomena and the afterlife. While other children were out playing games, Kim was often found dividing her time between nurturing animals in her care, and looking for evidence of life after death. She attempted to capture ghosts on film and tape, and she entertained family members with various other attempts at contacting the Other Side. At the time, it never occurred to her to include animals in her search for life after death.

As an adult, Kim�s life changed direction. First, she earned degrees in Psychology and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Then, she studied health and nutrition; earned a degree in Naturopathy; and became a respected health writer, researcher, and nutritional consultant. She co-authored the book, Uncooking with Jameth and Kim, and co-founded HealthForce Nutritionals, Inc., which offers nutritional supplements worldwide for both humans and animals.

Kim never outgrew her childhood interests, however. Her spare time was spent exploring the spiritual path, as well as volunteering for various organizations on behalf of animals. Being a devoted animal lover, she also operated a dog walking and animal companion-sitting service, and she began welcoming rescued rats into her home (which has become known as the Rat Refuge and provides sanctuary for a multitude of very happy rescued rats).

While grieving the loss of a beloved animal companion, Kim unexpectedly began to receive signs and messages from the Other Side. This led her on an incredible journey into the realm of animals and the afterlife, bringing her full circle to the path begun in childhood. Then, after the tragic death of a close friend, Kim realized that she was to blend her research on the afterlife of animals with that of humans, thereby showing that it�s all the same afterlife.

Her journey to uncover the truth about the afterlife resulted in Kim writing the award winning book, Animals and the Afterlife: True Stories of Our Best Friends� Journey Beyond Death. Her side-by-side comparisons of after-death phenomena of both humans and animals demonstrate that the evidence is the same. In Kim�s words: �If there�s an afterlife for humans, there�s an afterlife for animals, because the evidence is identical. And based on the evidence, I can say with conviction that there�s most definitely an afterlife.�

Along with her own experiences, Animals and the Afterlife is a compilation of the extraordinary after-death communication experiences of ordinary people from around the world. Kim�s book offers comfort and reassurance to anyone who has ever cherished an animal, and food for thought for anyone who has ever questioned the place of these beloved creatures in the larger scheme of things. Kim is now working on a television series and feature-length film project based on Animals and the Afterlife, and Book 2 is contracted for a future date.

Today Kim Sheridan is a highly respected and sought after expert on life after death for humans and animals alike, and much of her time is devoted to the care of elderly animals making their transition to spirit. In addition to being an award-winning author, Kim is a filmmaker, lecturer, and workshop leader. She is a popular guest on radio and television, and her expertise includes animals, health, and the environment. Kim is the founder of EnLighthouse Entertainment, Compassion Circle, Healthy Chick®, Healthy Hunk™, and Go Green Already!™ -- all of which hold true to Kim�s values to raise awareness, teach compassion, and respect the Earth and all living beings. She has been listed in Who�s Who in Executives and Professionals, 2,000 Notable American Women, and Great Minds of the 21st Century.
