Always by Your Side: True stories from the life of a psychic medium
Always by Your Side is the incredible true story of a psychic medium. Describing the amazing abilities Gaynor was born with, seeing spirit since birth, entering a world that was beyond ours and having psychic abilities are just some of the many incredible things that happened on a daily basis in Gaynor's childhood. Each page of this book is sprinkled with the magic of spirit, laughter, tears and down to earth honest stories from the life of a medium. Born with the ability to see dead people. It wasn't until the death of her own father when she was thirteen that she started to explore what was happening to her. Over two decades later she is now an international psychic medium who has given thousands of spirit messages and now wants to share with you some of the magic she has experienced over the years. Her stories of spirit will touch your heart and hopefully bring you closer to understanding the afterlife. Gaynor Carrillo is also a mother, a wife and a daughter.

Just what I needed to read.
My youngest son passed away six months ago and the grief has been devastating. What has made it harder is a decrease of faith. When my son lay in life support i told him he was going to a party the likes he's never seen in this world. That wasn't something I 'knew' but something I believed. Then, in the days following my son's death i wasn't so sure anymore and started to wonder if my older,atheist,son was right- dead is dead. That sudden uncertainty has made my grief even more intense; that my beautiful son is gone is bad enough, but the thought that there is no life after this and he is truly gone has tormented me to the point that I saw no point to continue. The Kindle Unlimited had Gaynor Carillo's two books on my recommendation list. I read them because these sort of books have always interested me. I usually read them because in intrigued but I take them with a grain of salt. I've continued to read such books since my son's death, but none have had such an effect on me as this one and Heaven is Real. Ms. Carrillo is not writing from any religious viewpoint; she writes simply, from the heart, of what she has witnessed and experienced for herself. Oddly enough, while her books take no theological position, confirm no signs of creed, within her words I've started to find my way back to the Catholic faith i was in danger of losing when my son died. I had planned on finding a medium before I read this book; I don't find that necessary now. I've recommended Ms Carrillo's books to grief support groups i am in. I highly recommend them to any who are looking for answers and are open to receive them.

Heaven Sent?
I Liked the book profoundly and it confirmed that our life has meaning about learning to love, without judgement and leaving the earth as we found it, a better place for all regardless!!!
I would recommend this book to all who are sceptical and believe that our journey ends after death, are they in for a surprise when that day comes!
The rating I gave was because the book was, to me, inspirational and made me realise that we come into this life with nothing, but leave it with more knowledge, love and nothing else material or otherwise.

Brilliant read
I have read a few books from mediums about the afterlife. Although very good, they left me slightly confused about how thing work on the other side.
This book however was enlighten and brought comfort and a better understanding of how and what "goes on" on the other side of the vail that is the afterlife. A must read for those seeking enlightenment and reassurance.

Fascinating stories of a natural born Psychic Medium
Definitely unputdownable once you begin reading. So well written and fascinating especially her childhood as a natural born psyche medium although unaware of her unique gifts. Unconventional mother and upbringing. Packed with riveting true stories based on her spiritual readings.

What a beautiful book, written by an incredibly special person. I loved every word! Gaynor is deeply spiritual, very gifted and just a lovely soul. Very moving and profound stories she shares.

Esta es la historia de Gaynor, una mujer que desde su nacimiento había tenido unas cualidades muy diferentes a las personas que tenía a su alrededor
