Finding meaning after losing a loved one – especially someone with so much life still to live – must be one of the most challenging journeys in the human experience. For Richard Stuttle, this journey was thrust upon him when his kid sister was murdered at only 19 years of age while travelling in Australia.
How we react in the face of trauma indicates the gravity of the impact; what we do next indicates the resiliency of our character. What Richard did in the wake of his sister’s death, and continues to do today 19 years later, is a powerful testament to his love for her and his desire to help others avoid painful losses.
In this episode we explore the charity that Richard founded in his sister’s memory to promote safe travelling, the book that he wrote about her life and death, the demons that he has grappled with since her passing, and the unconditional love he found for others when she moved on to another realm. It is that ‘realm’ that we then explore with an intriguing discussion about spiritual communication and mediumship.
“Forgiveness, I think, is for the person who’s doing the forgiving, not the person who’s being forgiven.”
Richard has been immersed in mediumship for decades and has mentored under some of the world’s best mediums. He has developed his own working methods using art, colour, and creativity to unlock potential. Our discussions of evidence of an afterlife will align and conflict with many paradigms, and to some will hopefully bring comfort and peace of mind.
Richard’s dedication to bettering the lives of others is commendable, and his devotion to his sister’s legacy is heartwarming. From the depths of great tragedy he has mined the most beautiful gems of love, purpose, and gratitude.
