My guest Father Nathan Castle is a Dominican priest known for his work in campus ministry and his unusual calling of helping souls who have died suddenly to find peace. He discusses his unique work and how he was called to serve others in this way. He discusses the communications he receives in his dreams and how he began working with the souls who connect with him whose afterlives have been interrupted by unfinished business. He is the author of four books including his most recent: Afterlife: Interrupted Book 3 - Let Me Explain. Learn more at his website:

-What he means by "stuck souls"
-How he first experienced contact from a deceased soul in his dreams
-Why certain people might get stuck in this way after death
-What is an "interrupted death experience"
-Stories of souls he has encountered during after death communication experiences
-How he works with stuck souls and their guardians to help them cross over
-How he uses prayer as a subset of love for helping souls
-In his experience many people who died by suicide felt optionless and just wanted the pain to stop
