Angie’s Philosophy
&
Her Story
I offer guidance to those who have lost someone to death, who have come to the acceptance stage of the globally recognized and accepted five stages of grief: anger, denial, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, and want something more for themselves. My followers look forward to experiencing a new relationship with their loved one from beyond and are less likely to get sucked back into the painful and sometimes addictive emotion of grief.
Through the lens of my own experience, I offer another approach.
My process is very different, and I promise if you choose, you will never view death in the same light. The only prerequisite is that you are willing to keep an open heart and mind about everything!
I bring a sense of humor and lightheartedness to my work. I am convinced that the way in which we think about death is outdated and negative and provides very little in the way of comfort, healing, and peace.
My approach is empathetic, altruistic and non-judgmental.
I honor exactly where each one of you is on your journey. Pain will not kill you. To sit and feel the pain of loss is an absolute necessity in order to move beyond debilitating pain in order to be fully present and recognize the signs and symbols from beyond.
I am asking my followers to move from acceptance of their loved one’s death with a willingness to keep an open heart and mind. It is here where miracles occur and you will be assured your loved one has never left and is still right here.
To get to this marker, it does take a willingness to keep an open mind and to let go of self-limiting beliefs which will keep us stuck if we allow.
Angie’s Story
Angie Corbett-Kuiper was born and raised in the Midwest. She spent eleven years attending a parochial Catholic school and graduated her senior year in a public school.
In 1987, Angie graduated from college with a BBA. In 1987, she began her corporate career with Xerox Corporation.
In 1989 she married her first husband, whom she met in college. Together, they created two beautiful boys, Nicholas and Zach.
After 20 years of marriage, in 2009, Angie divorced.
She continued to work for corporate America but radically changed directions to the medical and scientific world of biopharmaceuticals.
On June 1, 2011 she met Dr. Johannes Jacob Kuiper. Johannes (Jan), specialized as a Heart Failure Cardiologist in the Transplant Department at Baylor University Medical Center, in Dallas, TX.
Jan and Angie were engaged on Sunday, September 2011, on the top of La Luz Trail in the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico.
On March 31, 2015, Angie’s first-born son, Nicholas Max Corbett, twenty years old, took his life.
The death of her son changed Angie for life. There are no words to describe the tremendous grief of losing a child. For days she could not physically move. She didn't think to eat. She lost 10 pounds in a matter of a week. The 'what if's and if only's that continued to flood her mind, body, and soul. Grief had taken over. She was experiencing the denial, bargaining, anger, and depression stages...sometimes all at the same time.
Jan was Angie's source of strength, which she leaned on during this time. He held her when she cried; he cooked for her when she forgot to eat. He loved her when she was now confused as to what love even meant.
Angie was grateful for both Zach, her remaining son, and Jan. Being a mom to Zach gave her the structure she so desperately needed - the impetus for waking up, making meals, volunteering at the school, keeping her mind and body occupied during the waking hours, while she silently wept and mourned where no one could see or hear her pain.
On April 16, 2016, Jan and Angie were married.
Surrounded by their closest family, friends, and a few medical staff from Baylor, it was a fairy tale surprise wedding which began celebrating Jan’s 50th Birthday to a black and white Rat-Pack themed Frank Sinatra celebration and ended in “I do.” Angie’s son, Zach, walked her down the aisle, it was a beautiful celebration.
On April 25th, nine days after their wedding, Jan had taken his life.
Angie received a text message from Jan’s partner at Baylor Monday afternoon, April 25th, wondering if she had seen Dr. Kuiper. She knew something was terribly wrong.
Not only one, but now two suicides in a little more than a year’s time. She didn’t know what to do. She felt so alone, found herself crying uncontrollably and spent more time under her covers eating gallons of ice cream than she found herself vertical.
“Why?” She asked. “Why me?” She was in such pain and did not understand what had happened. She felt completely out of control of the carefully crafted balanced life she thought she had created. Nothing made sense. She was supposed to die before her son. Jan promised to stay by her side.
She knew she needed to do something or she, too, could have very easily and quickly fallen into the grave with her son and now brand-new husband.
She was allowing herself to process both life and death. She allowed herself to experience each and every stage of pain without self-medicating and masking the experience. She realized she was okay and that the pain did not kill her.
At first, Angie spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars in traditional therapy and counseling. She found comfort in meditation. She began opening her heart and mind to paths and suggestions that were presented by loving friends and complete strangers. She chose not to judge any message and chose not to judge the messenger no matter how unorthodox it, or they, may appear.
Angie made the decision that Nick’s and Jan’s choices would not define her. She decided to share her story of what continues to work for her in hopes of offering pearls for others who may find themselves painfully struggling with the death of a loved one.
Death changed Angie.
From that moment on, in between the emotions of grief, she turned the universe upside down searching for both Nick and Jan. She started receiving signs, symbols, and messages from them, which allowed her to start experiencing joy again. Something she thought would never be possible. At least not in this lifetime.
Both deaths forced her to look outside of her self-limiting beliefs about everything, and in so doing she was able to find a more peaceful, joyful, and calm way of living. Knowing that we are only guaranteed this single breath.
Before bed one night she put her intention out to the universe when she screamed, “What am I supposed to do with this?” She woke in the middle of the night with her question answered… “Boldness in Death!”
Angie knew she had to share her experience with others, offering the same tools and resources that have helped her as she continues to navigate her own journey through death and loss.
Angie’s purpose and passion are to share from her own experiences that our loved ones are not gone.
They are still right here and it is possible to not only recognize them when they present but learn their new language…
It is possible. It is a choice.
Angie speaks around the world. She is writing books, conducts intimate retreats, and is the host of her hit radio show “Beyond Proof Radio” on The Transformation Talk Radio Network with Dr. Pat Baccili. She interviews guests around the world who support her mission in changing the way in which we view and ultimately navigate death, loss and grief.
She hopes to restore a peaceful optimism by sharing a different perspective which offers a light, uplifting and more positive experience for those who desire something more with the only prerequisite is a willingness to keep an open mind and heart to receive everything that presents and not judge the experience.
Her mission is to offer guidance to those desiring to explore beyond current self-limiting beliefs surrounding grief, death, and loss to include science, philosophy, metaphysics, and spirituality which support that our bodies are merely shells of our soul, that there is no death and our soul’s essence continues it’s life purpose and journey long after our bodies have withered, deteriated and died.
Only through significant loss has Angie truly begun to live and she shares with others how it is possible.
She has found that by connecting with her loved ones from beyond she has been able to reconnect with herself in ways she never thought possible.
Don’t cry that it’s over; smile that it happened.
It seems impossible right now, but it is possible to move forward from the tremendous pain of loss to finding a different way to incorporate your loved one into your daily life.
It takes belief, a choice, a present-moment awareness and an open mind. It is so much more rewarding than what we’ve been taught about death.
We will never get over the humanness of loss, however, it is possible to live a different way of life with our loved one. A unique path that through my own experience has brought me significant joy. Yes, I absolutely miss the physicality of my loved ones and would love for them to be living on this earth plane with me.
My loved ones from beyond continue to show me glimpses of what’s next and it is so amazing and completely different than what I have read in books and what I have been taught to believe.
How can I possibly continue to grieve and fear when I’ve been given validation and proof of the beyond? My approach provides a lightness and sense of peace.
I invite you to join me…
Have you lost a loved one to death? Are you curious and willing to keep a very open mind? Are you ready to move beyond grief and not get sucked back into the sometimes addictive cycle of anger, denial, bargaining, and depression?
There is another way.
It is very different, and I promise you will never view death in the same light.
