What if death is not an ending, but a doorway to a more profound connection? When Corey McAuliffe’s father died, she thought their cherished monthly dates would end forever. But when the number 23 began appearing everywhere—on receipts, clocks, and even trail markers—Corey realized her father was still reaching out. What followed was a journey unlike anything she could have imagined. Through unexpected signs, quiet spiritual practices, and moments of startling synchronicity, Corey discovered a way to keep the conversation going with her dad—whether on nature hikes, winding city streets, or road trips that felt guided by something more than chance. Along the way, she faced the challenges of a pandemic, a PhD defense, and a life-altering diagnosis, each moment further illuminated by her father’s presence and wisdom from beyond the veil. From unraveling questions she’d carried for her entire life to finally tracing her family’s roots in Ireland, Corey’s story is one of self-discovery, wonder, and healing. With warmth, humor, and unflinching honesty, 23 Dates with My Dead Dad invites us to see grief not as a final goodbye, but as an opportunity to love and listen to our departed loved ones in new, unexpected ways.
