Still Here
Continuing relationships with loved ones in spirit
What if death does not end a relationship, but simply changes the way it is experienced?
In Still Here: Continuing Relationships with Loved Ones in Spirit (White Crow Books, 2027), medium and researcher Karen Frances McCarthy offers a compassionate exploration of grief, consciousness, and the enduring bonds we share with those we love. Drawing on fifteen years of mediumship, personal experience, and academic study, she challenges the familiar assumption that consciousness ends with the physical body and invites readers to consider a different possibility: that those who have died may remain closer than we imagine.
"This book offers comfort, insight, and a meaningful path for anyone who has loved and lost."
Minister Richard Cuthbert, Arthur Findlay College
Still Here examines the fears and inherited beliefs that often surround death, the idea that spirits can become lost, trapped, or harmed by the grief of those left behind, and asks whether such narratives reflect reality or simply centuries of cultural conditioning.
She also explores the subtle ways in which connection may continue: through intuition, sensing, inner hearing, unexpected knowing, and moments that seem to interrupt the ordinary flow of thought. Practical guidance encourages readers to develop greater awareness and discernment without requiring religious belief or mediumistic ability.
Still Here is ultimately an invitation to approach grief differently: not by denying absence or loss, but by remaining open to the possibility that love, consciousness, and relationship may continue beyond death.
For anyone grieving someone they love, this book offers reassurance, perspective, and a gentle path towards recognising that separation may not be the whole story.
“Beautifully presented and a joy to read.”
Victor and Wendy Zammit, Co-authors of A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife and the Friday Afterlife Report.

Over the millennia, cultures east and west have contributed detailed descriptions of human souls navigating their way through the perils and joys of the afterlife. There is much to be learned from these perspectives – whether they are Tibetan, Egyptian, Hindu, Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, or Indigenous. But can we distinguish genuine knowledge from the human hopes and fears that often color imagination? Still Here presents an authentic effort by a scholar who is also a Spiritualist medium to do exactly that. In this book, Karen Frances McCarthy has made a significant contribution to the advancement of human understanding regarding this frontier of consciousness.
Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, Host, New Thinking Allowed
As a medium, Karen Frances McCarthy has spent years showing the bereaved that their loved ones are "Still Here" and that the relationship can continue and even deepen. After sharing her own journey in Till Death Don’t Us Part, she now offers practices and reflections that shift the reader's focus from loss to continuing bonds. The book explores signs and synchronicities, the nature of the afterlife, and cultural fears and mistaken beliefs that surround spirit contact. It shares in a very accessible way the latest research about consciousness, which has changed the landscape of our understanding. Beautifully presented and a joy to read.

A Short Excerpt
Have you ever been washing the dishes or sitting at a traffic light or doing something entirely routine and mundane, and out of nowhere, completely disconnected from whatever you were just thinking about, a memory of your loved one pops into your mind? Maybe it is a particular moment, the two of you somewhere together. Maybe it is just the feeling of them and their presence. You think, how strange, I just thought of them out of the blue. Those moments are worth reflection. You did not think of them. They thought of you, and you felt their thought touch your mind.
