About the author

Warwick Dunnett

​​​​​​​Warwick Dunnett spent decades flying around the world as a Boeing -747 Captain. Nothing in that career prepared him for the experience of suddenly losing a child or a loved one. He wrote Dance with Angels and is sharing other books he loves to help people feel happiness and live with loss, just as he has.
​​​​​​​
Warwick never expected to write a book about grief. Still, not long after the unnecessary loss of his son in a medical insurance scam, he discovered that others with a religious or spiritual belief recover more quickly from the depths of grief. He wanted answers, and something to believe in — or at least something that made sense, so he went searching for it.
​​​​​​​
That search led him to compare religions, spirituality, science, psychology, and the study of consciousness. Not to become an expert in any of them, but to understand whether anything could explain what happens after death — and whether meaning could be built from the ruins of loss.
Along the way, he discovered that each tradition is often very flawed, but each holds a piece of the puzzle he needed to rebuild. For him, healing came from taking the most grounded, truthful elements of each perspective and shaping them into a personal understanding of life, death, and what might lie beyond.
​​​​​​​
Today, he writes not as an authority, but as a father who survived the unimaginable — and as someone who believes that, even after terrible loss, we can learn to laugh again, not cry.
