Time > There is one story,more than any other,that seems especially painful to tell. When Barbara was in high school,she was rocked by the suicide of her boyfriend,Kyle — “It was early days” for the relationship,she says,on the verge of tears. “Which is kind of the heartbreaking part of it,too. In high school you sort of think,‘What if,what if,what if?’” She was was alarmed when someone told her that Catholics didn’t believe you went to heaven if you committed suicide. “I am superstitious,” she writes in the book. “Until I was 34,every wish that I ever made,on the flame of a birthday candle or on a star,was a wish that Kyle would go to heaven.” Last year,she saw a healer,brought a photo of Kyle. “I didn’t say anything,I didn’t even tell her my name,I just showed the woman the photo. She looked at it,matter-of-factly said he had hanged himself in his closet. I started to cry,after all those years,in a recognition of having carried those memories for so long. She told me,‘He has followed you everywhere,,he’s so proud of all that you’ve done. You’ve been all over the world,he’s gotten to go on this journey you.’ Then she said,‘He says you can stop counting stars now.’” She had never told anyone about her wishes,but after this encounter,she told her sister.
