WE NEVER REALLY LOSE THE ONES WE LOVE...WE CAN STILL FIND THEM, AND THEY CAN
FIND US

A JOURNEY OF LOSS, LOVE AND DISCOVERY

Jimmy Gauntt—personable, brilliant Jimmy—died at age twenty-four, struck by an
automobile. The promising young writer’s death shattered his father Casey’s
heart. Not since his own father’s sudden passing thirty-eight years before had
Casey felt so much pain.  The loss of the two most important men in his life
nearly shattered Casey’s mind.


THEN THE MIRACULOUS HAPPENED.



Read The Story
Through seeming coincidence and moments of magical synchronicity, Jimmy and
Casey’s father make themselves known to Casey, his family and Jimmy’s friends,
sparking an amazing healing process that leads Casey—a conservative
businessman—into the mystical world of mediums, shamans, coffee readers, and
spirit guides. The volume and velocity of these contacts from the other side
eventually lead Casey to a remarkable conclusion: his relationships with his
father and son never ended. Even death cannot separate us from our loved ones.





Let It Be
Casey journaled these amazing revelations as they began to unfold in late 2008
and shared them with family and close friends.  By 2011 there were so many
stories, and so many others who could benefit from this knowledge, Casey started
this website and borrowed its title from the last words spoken by Jimmy to one
of his best friends, Erik Shepner: “Hey Shep, Write Me Something Beautiful.
 Write me something beautiful and send it to me.”



In 2015 Casey pulled the core stories into a book co-authored with his son,
Jimmy.  Suffering Is the Only Honest Work shares its title with the poem Jimmy
wrote after he ran-and finished-the 2007 Los Angeles Marathon.


WRITE ME SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND SUFFERING IS THE ONLY HONEST WORK

May change everything you think you know about life, death, and the boundary
that separates the two.

For anyone who has ever lost a loved one, Casey and Jimmy offer the greatest
gift of all: the awareness we never really lose the ones we love.  We can still
find them, and they can find us.
