Frank connects with Linda through Dr. Liz.

Shortly after Linda expired, I stood by her bed and bent down over her body and kissed her on the forehead goodbye.  Then I sat in a chair beside her bed and took her hand in mine and remembered a passage from Dante.  I paraphrased the passage, saying to Linda “My darling Linda, I will love you forever.  And when you see my time is near, please beckon me like Virgil beckoned Dante and Dante followed him.  So, when you beckon me, I will follow you my dear, like Dante followed Virgil and I will find you again my love, and I will love you forever.”  Then, I kissed her hand and stood up from her bedside and walked over to the door and stopped and turned around for one last look at the love of my life. It was not easy, because then I would turn away and leave the room and close the door behind me.  It broke my heart.  I did not know when or if I would ever see her or speak with her again.

When I returned to our home, I collapsed on my bed and slept for hours and hours.  When I woke up early the next morning, I had two thoughts: I wanted to find out about Afterlife communication to connect with Linda.  Second, that I must do whatever it takes to preserve her legacy in the four arts in which she excelled, as in each of them she was recognized and awarded honors: film, music, performance art, and poetry.  I have accomplished much of each of the two goals I set for myself. In Linda’s honor, I have also written two books about her, and her poetry, and about our lives together. I still have more to do.

This book introduces three important individuals: my late wife, Linda J Albertano, the artist who passed away; Elizabeth Raver, Ph.D. a long-term professional medium and retired college professor; and me, Frank Lutz. You will notice in introducing my wife, Linda, I use the verb form “is my wife” and not “was my wife”.  If you are familiar with Afterlife communications already, my use of the verb form “is my wife” will not surprise you. If you are new to Afterlife communications, then you will come to see that the Afterlife is a real place where we will go and where our Departed Loved Ones (DLOs) and ancestors have gone. It is a viable place of consciousness where life goes on in a different form, and I find it fascinating.

From the day following Linda’s passing on September 13th until the end of October 2022, I dedicated six weeks to sorting out her business matters, artwork archives, and personal belongings.  I have organized her archives for an art/poetry institution to use for public display and educational purposes.  By November 1st, I began my research into Afterlife communications and by the end of December 2022 I had read 14 books including works on Quantum Mechanics science, parapsychology, medical research, laboratory research, and books by Mediums on how they proceed with clients, or as they say in that discipline with “Sitters”, i.e., people who want to communicate with their DLOs.  From January 2022 to May 2024, I have read another 45 books on the Afterlife science.  I have taken online courses on different aspects of the Afterlife world, taught by American scientists, researchers, and Mediums from other countries.  Among my favorite professionals with various academic credentials, beside the aforementioned Elizabeth Raver, are researchers and authors C. Craig Hogan, an NDE’s and Afterlife researcher, and Gary E. Schwartz, professor at the University of Arizona and colleague of Hogan, Hillary Michaelson, a Medium and Founder and Director of the Los Angeles School of the Spiritual Arts, and Sonia Rinaldi, the physical engineer, researcher and technician who has developed photography that is capable of capturing images of DLO’s in the Afterworld, an amazing accomplishment.  The persons I have mentioned in the preceding paragraph are the very best in their fields with whom I have had contact.  This includes the two Mediums, Elizabeth and Hillary, after I had dealt with several others.  The personal research, reading and classwork I have done in the past one and one-half years are in line with my academic background.  I have studied in six universities, including three in Europe (France, Italy, Germany), and graduated at the top of my class at UCLA, earning Summa Cum Laude honors, and induction into the academic society for top scholars, Phi Beta Kappa, and received a Graduate Fellowship. I have also done research in the Secret Archives of the Vatican, in Medieval History of the 13th Century; I have a Vatican Passport, for research. But it is not necessary for the average person to put as much time, effort and research into this science as I have done.  What drove me is my passion and love for my dear Linda.
