There is coming a time when there will be no veil. There will be no separation or being on one side of the veil or the other. When the veil comes down, that is where heaven will be. That time is closer than we might think. The key to unlock that door: helping others with healing.
Casey Gauntt knows well the pain of suffering the deaths of those we deeply love. He lost his father to suicide when he was 20, and 38 years later his only son, Jimmy, was struck and killed by a car. Three months after Jimmy’s death, Casey was reconnected with his father and son by means that can only be described as miraculous. He wrote that story, The Letter, made into an award-winning short film, and thus began his transition from corporate attorney to writer and companion to others stricken with grief. Gauntt’s first book, Suffering Is the Only Honest Work, included many other mind-expanding synchronicities that followed.
When the Veil Comes Down assembles what Gauntt has learned over the last 12 years as he’s walked with many who have been plunged into grief and have emerged to find healing, purpose, and even joy. Our loved ones who have transitioned work hard to send us signs and messages to help us. We, in turn, can mend and strengthen relationships we thought forever broken by death, and help our departed loved ones with their healing and evolution. We can also forge new relationships with our ancestors whom we’ve never met.
Practical examples and tips on how to be a better friend, colleague, or companion to someone who is grieving the death of a loved one are included.
We, on both sides of the veil, have a limitless, untapped capacity to help one another with healing. And if enough of us use that ability, that’s when the veil comes down.

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT WHEN THE VEIL COMES DOWN
“What a masterpiece. We are so honored to be part of your work; a fruit of your love that you are sharing with the world. You help make sense out of something that makes no sense. You proved your point and delivered an important message, eloquently providing the reader with different ways to make sense of this. It’s brilliant and I can’t wait to share it with friends in need.” - Conrad and Paola Leslie
“What a gift to be able to illuminate the alchemy of transforming pain and loss into those glimpses “behind the veil” that provide healing and give hope. Grief is such a hard road and your very honest work helps those who are suffering to find their way. (Borrowing a little there from Jimmy.) You honor David Cline and our family with your words. - Kim Higgins
“When the Veil Comes Down is one of the most engaging, thought-provoking, and emotional books I have read in a very long time. Your “voice” is so sincere and honest and conversational at times. I often found myself in tears without realizing how deeply I was moved by your words, your stories, and the underlying pain you and your family have endured. I am so impressed with the coping mechanisms you found or found you. I love the “synchronicities” concept; it really intrigued me. Of course, I thought about your “brother in grief,” George Blystone, and was saddened to learn of his loss. Aside from the intimacy and beauty of the content of this book, it is so beautifully written. You are a gifted writer, and I hope you might continue using your gift on a third book.” - Martha Morey Swierczewski
“Your writing style has the warmth of fireside storytelling while revealing the evidence and mastery of forever love showing up in our lives. Thank you for every ounce of soul courage you pour into your writing Casey.” - Sharon Belknap
“We very much appreciate your new book and honoring our son, Sean. It is a beautiful book and legacy to your family, Jimmy and so many others.” - Cathie Canepa
“Thank you, Casey and co-author Hilary, for the wisdom and insight and encouragement you have given me through your wonderful book, and helping me to continue seeking out our connections on the Other Side; to never forget. To find courage to keep pursuing clarity. They are right here, within our heart's reach.” - Christina Brown
“I LOVED it!!! Every page!!! You opened up a whole new world of mourning and celebrating a life. I so admire how Hilary and you decided to live your lives after Jimmy’s death. You two were blindsided. To experience that loss, and then to immediately find ways of helping people (strangers!) go through the same, is so admirable. You two “walk the walk.” I want you to know what an honor it is to call you both friends. Thank you for your beautiful book.” - Ludie Driscoll
“Your book is absolutely fabulous, and was such of source of comfort to me. I recommended it to three different people who have had their own struggles with the loss of a loved one, and I couldn’t think of a better book to send their way. I am so proud of the way you have re-engineered your life and managed to find a tangible way to be of service and help other people wrestle with loss and pain. Please keep writing, and working your magic to soothe those of us who need a helping hand.” - Marilyn Murray Willison
“Your second contribution to the literary world is going to help a lot of hurting people. I relished thinking deeply again as I read the book. Thank you for your wonderfully kind words. It's always heartwarming to hear them when you send them my way. I could almost believe I deserve them.” - Emily Sue Buckberry
“I could hear you talking in your book. I could feel your pain and your love for Hilary, Brittany, Ryan the kids and, of course, Jimmy. I love the way you write—so clear and strong. I have always been an advocate of looking pain in the eye and speaking about our loved ones that have passed. Thank you for writing such a beautiful book. I will put it up with your first book, Suffering.... and waiting for your next one.” - Sue Beckmann
