After-Death Communication

After-Death Communication, or ADC, is a term coined by Judy and Bill Guggenheim in their book, Hello from Heaven. In it, they detail all the ways those on the other side communicate back to us that they’re alive and well on the soul plane. And if you’re about to cross over, why not have some fun with this and arrange with your loved ones for you to deliver one or more of the following After-Death Communication proofs of your survival of death:

• Sensing a presence, a feeling that the person is in the room, often accompanied by a warm, comforting sensation. They often show up for big occasions such as weddings and birthday parties to help assuage grief among bereaved relatives or just to let you know they’re all right.

• Voice, either heard through your ears or as thoughts. The message is usually short and sweet, such as, “I love you,” or “I’m okay,” or they can be extensive reports of life on the other side or commenting on events in your daily life, proving that we do survive death.

• Touch, ranging from a light tap to a full embrace, usually to reassure or comfort us.

• Smell, usually reminiscent of the person, such as perfume or tobacco.

• Partial appearance, often a bright ball of light hovering in the room, or the visitor may project his or her face. You don’t need to have your eyes closed in meditation, either. These are broad daylight, eyes open appearances, albeit it not solid-looking.

• Full, solid appearance, which may surprise you because the visitor looks to be in perfect health, and often younger in appearance than at the time of death, with more hair and with any amputated limbs intact. This type of contact, more than any other, convinces even hardened skeptics of the reality of life-after-death.

• Glimpses beyond. Almost as if you’re looking through a window, you see your loved one in their actual setting, rather than in your setting. Some people see it as a movie shown on an invisible screen in front of them.

• Hypnogogic contact. On falling asleep or just waking, you are open to any form of contact, and a loved one can squeeze in during those moments.

• Sleep state contact. When the conscious mind shuts down and we are free to roam the higher dimensions, our deceased loved ones have the home field advantage and can communicate with great clarity. And these visits are far more real than dreams.

• Phone calls. Since souls are pure energy, they can manipulate electronic devices quite easily. The experiencers interviewed by the Guggenheims reported that the phone would ring once and they would hear the voice of their loved one on the other end, either clear and crisp or sounding distant, possibly with static. Sometimes, the caller would break into a conversation already in progress.

• Symbolic signs. Your loved ones may send meaningful signs, such as a butterfly landing on you or a rainbow on the anniversary of their passing.

• Physical signs. Many times, visiting spirits give us signs, such as turning lights on or off, stopping clocks at a significant time, turning the radio on just when a particular song is playing, or moving things just to let us know they’re around. A favorite trick is to change TV channels in the middle of a show. Why? Because they can!

• Apported objects. Coins and feathers are common items for those on the other side to leave in our way for us to find.

After-Death Communication is especially significant when it occurs before you even know of the person’s passing, because you can’t dismiss it as wishful thinking. For the arch-skeptic, Hello From Heaven includes a chapter of solid evidentiary cases of After-Death Communication, where information was given that only later could be proven correct, such as the location of documents and valuables that the deceased had hidden for some reason.Why do those who have passed over communicate back to us? The main reasons are:

• To reassure us of their well-being. When loved ones die, we may be worried about them or wonder what happened to them. Having them visit us can be extremely reassuring. This is particularly important in the case of suicide, where the family or friends may be concerned about their loved one’s status in the afterlife.

• To comfort us. Although our loved ones may be fine and dandy on the other side, those of us still on this side are grieving, which causes them great distress. So they appear to us to bring comfort and tell us we’re only separated by a thin veil. When a mother loses a child, for example, the overwhelming grief may be eased when the child’s soul tells the mother that everything went according to plan, and it was the soul’s time to go. This softens the blow of learning of the passing of a loved one and hopefully takes the edge off the pain.

• To pass on important information, such as the location of a missing will or other important document. This also reassures us that our loved ones are still looking out for us from the soul plane. (ADCs have known to occur decades after someone’s passing.)

• To give a warning or suggest a different course of action. While they can’t “see the future,” because it depends on how we use our free will, they have a broader perspective and can tell us what’s likely to happen.

• To assuage your guilt. Suppose you feel guilty about having put an aged parent in a nursing home. The soul of the parent may return to say that it fully understands the reasons why you had to do that and you should not feel guilty.

• To apologize for something. Suppose a parent had a hard time telling you how much he or she loved you, the parent may wish to tell you that you really were loved, even if the personality could not say the actual words. Or if they suffered from dementia, they might apologize for being difficult or cranky. Another reason for an apology is suicide. Not only must you deal with your grief, you must also deal with the deliberate death.

Under the warning category, the Guggenheims report ADCs that allowed recipients to avoid accidents, crimes and undiagnosed illness. In one case, when a driver panicked on a railroad crossing, a deceased friend materialized and stomped down so hard on her right foot that she suffered a severe bruise.
