Description
You Can’t Die was inspired by Wendy Marston’s visits to her regular spiritual meetings that she began attending after the death of her mother.
Before her mother died, Wendy, her sister and father all agreed two very secret code words. Following her death, Wendy’s mother came through a Medium who gave her the secret code, along with more evidence, that lead her to become a believer in clairvoyance. Her father continued to be a sceptic but began coming through Mediums very quickly after his death and asked Wendy to write her second book.
You Can’t Die is a thought-provoking collection of true stories that aims to provide evidence of life after death.

I have to say I have mixed feelings after reading this book. As a story about the authors early years, school life, and as a married woman with a family, I enjoyed it very much. The story of those years in the 1940/1950s were interesting to me. However, I thought there would have been more spiritual content than was given. I am fairly open minded, but I do believe in luck, and I do believe that coincidences can sometimes happen, and there wasn't enough content in the book to convince me otherwise. That said, I will look for other books by this author.

“You Can’t Die” is a collection of true stories that aims to provide evidence of life after death. It was inspired by the author’s visits to her local spiritualist church following her mother’s death.
Personally, I found that much of this book was given over to the author’s life story. Born in 1944, Wendy Marston’s story is filled with memories of years gone by, which I found really interesting. There were some great insights into school life in the late 1940’s/early fifties, when a teacher’s first choice of reprimand was the cane! The following years are also covered, which I found fascinating, but it left little time for the spiritual events.
The author indicates how the right person at the right time came into her life on many occasions, (albeit momentarily), just when she needed some help, and I pondered how that applied to my own life, and yes there have been times when something happened where I thought “ That was lucky “. Some would call it coincidence, something which the author doesn’t believe in, she believes it was spiritual intervention, but it’s impossible to prove either way.
I certainly found this to be an interesting read, but mainly as a piece of social history. There WERE a couple of convincing instances, one of which was that Wendy, her sister and mother and father all agreed two very secret code words known only to them, to be revealed via a Medium or other source as proof of life after death. Following her death, Wendy’s mother did indeed come through a Medium who gave the secret code, along with more evidence, which did give some food for thought. However, the spiritual side took something of a back seat for me.
