After Death Communication
~ Joyous Reunions With Deceased Loved Ones ~
©1995; by Bill Guggenheim & Judy Guggenheim
co-authors of Hello From Heaven! published by Bantam Books
Have you been contacted by a loved one who has died? After-death communication (ADC) is probably as old as mankind, but ours is the first complete research study of this field. These spiritual experiences are extremely common, and in many other parts of the world they are discussed openly and freely.
Between 1988 & 1995, we interviewed 2,000 people who live in all fifty American states and the ten Canadian provinces. Ranging in age from children to the elderly, they represent diverse social, educational, economic, occupational, and religious backgrounds. We conservatively estimate that at least 50 million Americans, or 20% of the population, have had one or more ADC experiences – and the actual numbers may be closer to double these figures!
We collected more than 3,300 firsthand accounts of ADCs from people who have been contacted by a deceased family member or friend. These are spontaneous and direct communications that may occur anytime and anywhere, but no third parties such as psychics, mediums, hypnotists, or devices of any kind are involved.
Based upon our research, the following are the twelve most frequent types of after-death communication people report having with their deceased loved ones:
Sensing A Presence: This is the most common form of contact. But many people discount these experiences, thinking, "Oh, I'm just imagining this." It's a distinct feeling that your loved one is nearby, even though he or she can't be seen or heard. Though most often felt during the days and weeks immediately after the death, you may sense his or her presence months and even years later.
Hearing A Voice: Some people state they hear an external voice, the same as when a living person is speaking to them. However, the majority of communications are by telepathy – you hear the voice of your relative or friend in your mind. When you have two-way communication, it is usually by telepathy. In fact, it's possible to have an entire conversation this way.
Feeling A Touch: You may feel your loved one touch you with his or her hand, or place an arm around your shoulders or back, for comfort and reassurance. You may feel a tap, a pat, a caress, a stroke, a kiss, or even a hug. These are all forms of affection, nurturing, and love.
Smelling A Fragrance: You may smell your relative's or friend's favorite cologne, after-shave lotion, or perfume. Other common aromas are: flowers (especially roses), bath powders, tobacco products, favorite foods, and his or her personal scent.
Visual Experiences: There are a wide variety of visual experiences, which we have divided into two broad categories: partial visual and full visual ADCs. Appearances range from "a transparent mist" to "absolutely solid" with many gradations in between. You may see only the head and shoulders of your relative or friend, or someone you love may make a full appearance to you, and you will see the entire body as well, which will appear completely solid. Some visual ADCs occur in the bedroom, next to or at the foot of the bed. Others may happen anywhere – indoors or outdoors – even in a car or aboard a plane. Typically he or she will be expressing love and well-being with a radiant smile. Loved ones virtually always appear healed and whole regardless of their cause of death. Verbal communication may take place, but not always.
Visions: You may see an image of a deceased loved one in a "picture" that is either two-dimensional and flat or three-dimensional like a hologram. It's like seeing a 35 mm slide or a movie suspended in the air. Visions are usually in radiant colors and may be seen externally with your eyes open or internally in your mind. Communication may occur, especially during meditation.
Twilight Experiences: These occur in the alpha state – as you're falling asleep, waking up, meditating, or praying. You may have any or all of the above types of experiences while you are in this state of consciousness.
ADC Experiences While Asleep: Sleep-state ADCs are much more vivid, intense, colorful, and real than dreams. They are very common. Both one-way and two-way communications are typical. You usually feel your loved one is with you in person – that you're having an actual visit together. These experiences are not jumbled, filled with symbols, or fragmented the way dreams are.
Sleep-state ADCs are similar to those that occur when you are wide awake. Your relative or friend can come to you more easily, however, when you are relaxed, open, and receptive, such as while you are in the alpha state or asleep.
Out-Of-Body ADCs: These may occur while you are asleep or in a meditative state. They are dramatic experiences during which you leave your body and often visit your loved one at the place or level where he or she exists. These are extremely vivid, intense, and real – some say, "more real than physical life." The environments usually contain beautiful flowers and butterflies, colorful bushes and trees, radiant lighting, and other lovely aspects of nature – and are filled with happiness, love, and joy.
Telephone Calls: These ADCs may occur during sleep or when you are wide awake. You will hear a phone ringing, and if you answer it, your loved one will give you a short message. Two-way conversations are possible. His or her voice will usually be clear but may seem far away. If you are awake, you will probably not hear a disconnect sound or a dial tone when the call is completed.
Physical Phenomena: People who are bereaved often report receiving a wide variety of physical signs from their deceased relative or friend, such as: lights or lamps blinking on and off; lights, radios, televisions, stereos, and mechanical objects being turned on; photographs, pictures, and various other items being turned over or moved; and a long list of "things that go bump in the night."
Symbolic ADCs: People frequently ask a Higher Power, the universe, or their deceased loved one for a sign that he or she still exists. Many receive such a sign, though it may take some time to arrive. Occasionally these signs are so subtle they may be missed, or they may be discounted as mere "coincidences." Common signs include: butterflies, rainbows, many species of birds and animals, flowers, and a variety of inanimate objects such as coins and pictures.
According to our research, the purpose of these visits and signs by those who have died is to offer comfort, reassurance, and hope to their parents, spouse, siblings, children, grandchildren, other family members, and friends. They want you to know they're still alive and that you'll be reunited with them when it's your time to leave this physical life on earth – and they'll be there to greet you when you make your transition. Their most frequent messages, expressed verbally or non-verbally, include:
"I'm okay ... I'm fine ... Everything is okay ... Don't worry about me ...
Don't grieve for me ... Please let me go ... I'm happy ... Everything will be all right ...
Go on with your life ... Please forgive ... Thank you ... I'll always be there for you ...
I'm watching over you ... I'll see you again ... I love you ... Good-bye ..."
You may be asked to give a message from your loved one to somebody else. We urge you to write down the message verbatim and to deliver it, if possible, because it may help the recipient far more than you realize.
Nearly all ADCs are positive, joyful, and uplifting encounters that reduce grief, provide lasting comfort and hope, and accelerate emotional and spiritual healing. We encourage you to trust your own experiences and to accept them as being real for you.
Unfortunately, some people react with fear when they have an ADC. This is usually because they are startled by the suddenness of the event, or they may have never heard of one happening to anybody else. Such people may assume they are "losing their mind and going crazy." And others find it difficult to reconcile after-death communications with their philosophical or religious beliefs.
Not all people are contacted by their deceased loved ones. We don't know for certain why some are and some aren't, but it seems that fear, anger, and prolonged heavy grief inhibit the possibility of having an ADC.
Based upon our research, we suggest the following: Ask for a sign that your relative or friend continues to exist. Pray for him or her and others who are affected by the death, including yourself. We recommend that you learn how to meditate, especially if you are currently bereaved or have unresolved grief. Meditation will enable you to relax and soften any fear or anger you may have. It will reduce your depression, improve your ability to eat and sleep, and facilitate your healing process. These deep relaxation exercises will also allow you to unfold your inner, intuitive senses. In fact, you may have an ADC experience while you are meditating.
Our research indicates that after-death communications are a natural and normal part of life. Therefore, we feel ADCs deserve the same public awareness and acceptance that near-death experiences (NDEs) have already received.
For most people, an after-death communication from a deceased family member or friend is valued as a sacred and profound experience that will be cherished for a lifetime. ADC experiences usually expand one's understanding of life and offer a deeper awareness of life after death. They consistently communicate an essential spiritual message: "Life and love are eternal."

Dolly & Jo: I love your pictures. Dealing with deaths of loved ones and friends can really get us down. My sweet mommie is 84 yrs old. Last week she went to a funeral for one of her friends from church that she played domines with. Tonight she learned a longtime neighbor lady died. Another neighbor/friend is on life support in a nursing home. Yet another friend we've known for 50+ years broke her hip and has also had to go to a nursing home. Finally, my cousin is looking for a nursing home for my mom's younger sister bc she can't stay in assisted living any longer. As if all of that isn't enough, my youngest nephew (age 21) has become an alcoholic. His mother (my EX sister-in-law) called my mom yesterday and went off. The Ex has been told by my brother, me, my niece, and the court NOT to call my mom. If my brother doesn't contact the court tomorrow, I will. One of mom's church friends called me this afternoon bc mom left Sunday School early bc she wasn't feeling well. I went over to check on her bc this is the seond episode in a week. She was okay and refused to go to a dr. I'm so worried about her. She keeps saying life's not fun and she wants to go to heaven with my daddy & brother. I can't lose her yet. Anyway, I'm rambling. Thanks for letting me share this stuff. I really just wanted to thank you for posting the beautiful images to remind me of the good things.

I am here after a gap of two months.. About three weeks back, I dreamt that my father was in his winter clothes, jacket and cap and was talking on his cell with his neck turned to the side (his usual posture while talking on the cell). He looked quite content and I felt he looked like he had put on weight but then I thought that it is his winter clothes. I was aware in the dream that he had passed away. In the dream, a senior coworker of my father and his wife were also standing next to him. I know that this senior coworker has passed away but the last I heard about his wife was that she is almost bedridden. I do not know whether she is still alive. The other day I was going through old photos and found one of my father in the same winter clothes as the dream.
Then, a few days back, I saw my father in my dream for just a second and then I woke up. He was wearing a thick gold chain that was shining on his neck and chest. He never wore a gold chain when he was alive.
Any thoughts, comments on my dreams will be helpful.

A few months ago I heard a song while I was exercising on my stationary bike... I could see the screen of my computer, but not read it, so I made a mental note of what the album cover looked like so I could find it when I was done on the bike.. it spoke to me and I felt as if it was one of 'Brandon's songs'.. since he died I have felt that he has brought certain songs to my attention... we always had a very strong family bond through music, and music was what Brandon loved most in life, maybe second only to his love of his family and his love of God..
well like at least twice before, I've 'lost' songs I thought were from Brandon... and this time when I went to find the song, I was thwarted... first when I thought I had found it, before I had a chance to write down the name and artist, I tried finding the album it was on to see if there were other songs on it I would like... BIG mistake... somehow I lost the song I REALLY wanted, and apparently something I clicked made Pandora decide I didn't want to hear that song again, because for MONTHS it never played again... then a few days ago I heard the song called 'CHOICES' by the Kruger Brothers... I am almost positive its the same song.... so THIS time I got OFF the bike and wrote it down and bought it....
the youtube version is not really very good, but there's a good version on iTunes which I bought and we began playing it together... first time through brought the tears... we both felt it...me and my husband.... so I wanted to share it with you... the words 'there's no reason to despair...for there's always someone there.. who loves you more than you'll ever know... doesn't matter where you go... spoke so sweetly to us...
Just now I think I have found a better recording:
http://www.lyrics.com/choices-lyrics-krger-brothers.html#
Just click on the picture of the banjo picker in the upper right hand corner of the page to hear the recording....
the lyrics aren't available but I'm working them out from different recordings... I believe this is from Brandon... especially because of the line
'In the darkness there's a light
That will guide you through the night'
was brought home at the mountain house last THURSDAY [another Thursday] when we noticed a DIFFERENT light was turned on in our bathroom... we didn't notice it until after dark....
Also the next day at the Mountain house when we were playing this song I felt strong hands on both my shoulders.. BIG strong hands, and I said in my head "Is that you Brandon?" and the hands stayed put for the remainder of the song... maybe longer.... and at first I looked to see if something had fallen on my shoulders.... before I thought.... "BRANDON"...
THEN when we got home, the person watching Bo for us told us that the previous day at her house she and her daughter were in the room with a toy that had belonged to Brandon, one I had given to her for her little girl a few months after Brandon died, and suddenly the toy 'played itself' not ONCE but TWICE.... so I guess Brandon is telling us he's still around and loves us..... GOD I miss him SOOOOOOOOOOO much !!!!!

BTW the day the toy turned itself on twice was the same THURSDAY that the light turned on at the mountain house.... Brandon died on a Thursday

I don't know if there IS 'worry' in heaven, but if it is a place of peace I'd say probably NOT... and maybe there is no TIME in heaven as we experience it here... there's just FOREVER in heaven ... maybe that's 'time' of some sort, but there's no LIMIT to it if there is... maybe...and I'd guess there's no problem moving AROUND in heaven, or no need to move at ALL, even..as we think of 'moving' around... so it would seem that maybe the 'visitations' they might make to us wouldn't impact the people in heaven in any negative way... there's no NEGATIVE in Heaven is there? I don't know what kind of journey is made in a place with no time constraints... or movement constraints... maybe once they get to heaven they have no need of further 'journeys' as we think of them... I have no clue obviously, and when I try to rationalize it out, I just hit a wall because its so totally unknowable from where I am... all I know is that I love the times and ways that Brandon seems to reach out to us... maybe some of these things... even ALL of them.. could be my imagination, but maybe NOT.... I hope they never stop... and whatever I hope I don't think it will stop Brandon from doing whatever he's meant to do in heaven... I have no such power I don't think.... but then again I don't KNOW anything....

I feel the same way sometimes JO.. like God isn't hearing me anymore for some reason.. maybe something I did that He can't or won't forgive me for..
but the Bible says if we ASK for forgiveness and really repent [feel sorry for, and don't do it again or at least TRY not to do it again, whatever 'it' is] then He is FAITHFUL to forgive us...
my relationship with God is shaky but I still do believe in Him on some gut level.. just have trouble trusting that He hears me now and even sometimes that He loves me anymore... but He's the only chance I've got of EVER seeing Brandon again, as well as all the others I've lost, so I try my best not to turn my back on Him ...
If you feel like a curse is on you, and I have felt this too, then lets ask God to break it for us... we can rebuke the devil and ask God to rebuke him too.... I know some people don't believe in that but I figure if its all bunk, then so WHAT? It won't HURT to pray and ask God to help us, or to rebuke the devil... and it just might WORK !!
So I'm rebuking the devil and commanding him to LEAVE US ALONE !! And I am asking God to rebuke the devil also and I am asking Him to BREAK any curses that may exist on you or on me or on our loved ones... and I ask all these things in Jesus name...AMEN!

...i had a phone call from a very odd number on my parents mobile phone....with no voice...just after my mom passed away. (father was in vegetative state after both where attacked, also passed 5 months later) ...and after their cremation, their boxes in my living room...my dog stared at it one nite...my dad whilst in vegetative state also stared at corner of room, as if someone there..my confusion is that Bible says we not supposed to talk to passed ppl or mediums etc. ...i pray they are with Jesus. ...are these not just devils way of trying to take our minds off of God. the Bible says once u die here, u are with Him, (if u believed in Jesus), and the story of poor man dying...u cant communicate with ppl on earth??? im struggling with wanting to contact my mother and what my religious belief says i musnt do.

Ive never tried to contact anyone who has died, but still have felt that at times they or God were letting me know they were still alive somewhere in some other state of being I guess... but grief can do so many horrible things to us I'm never positive about anything ... it could all just be my imagination because I want so badly to think he is alive somewhere as well as the others I love who have died... the only time I asked for a sign was once after a light had been turned on in the house while we were gone... I asked God that if it was Him or my son that did it as a reassurance, then would He please have it happen again.. and the next time we went to the house it was on again... but then it has never been on since and has burned out... other things that have happened have just happened for no apparent reason as to when or where... in different houses, and at the place he died.... a couple happened at the house of a woman that used to take care of him.. he was an adult with disabilities... so I don't know... some things happened after my mom died and a cousin and a friend, but only one thing each, and then nothing more, and I didn't ask for them to happen either... they just did...

Dan, last year I told you that I had discovered,
through staying home for a day to rest.
That Im only happy when Im with you..
that my only Home is where ever you are
where ever you are.
Even Heaven.
My Home is where you are, Dan
always has been,
always will be.
You are telling me to go to Arizona
I feel that
Others may not believe me..
But I will be totally honest here
Im not sure its God.. I think God is behind it
But I know you are Dan,
At this point, where your at..
if its coming from you.
Im pretty sure Gods ok with it too.
You are going with me.
I know that
As much as I miss your physical body.
I know Im not losing you
the more important spiritual connection we have.
And someday
I hope soon
I will be with you and see you again totally.
Not this physical seperation.
That I Hate so much.
I will be with you
Home forever.

Wow! I love those pictures, Jo B. I love all of them!
I haven't been on for a while. I've been sick off and on all winter. I guess I'm run down from caregiving for my parents before they died. I hope you all are doing well.
I had a friend die January 7. I haven't really had any after death experiences with her, but I think her daughter has. Her daughter said something about pennies from heaven today. It threw me for a loop when she died though. It was my Mom's best friend, so going to the funeral and seeing the slide show of the two families growing up together and all of use kids and the five of her kids who had died before their mother died (that poor woman - how she survived that I just don't know). I went back into grief for my Mom and My dad and everyone else who has died that was tied up with the two families - and being sick at the time probably made it harder. I went to the wake and the funeral and then was in bed for four days afterwards it wore me out so bad. But, I'm glad I got to go. It was super sad. I just felt like I watched my own life flash before my eyes as I watched the slide show of us two families of kids growing up together - relived every joy, every regret, every missed opportunity - and then got upset that my parents are no longer here even though they were the biggest part of all of those memories, and I've felt very lonely without them. Find myself often longing for the past - a time when we were together. I truly was a lot happier then. I sure do miss them. I sure do miss the time we spent together in what felt like a simpler time back then. Can't believe how much it still hurts when I think about them.
Sorry if it is inappropriate to put this here since I'm not really sharing an After Death experience. I didn't know what group to go on to talk about the death of my Mom's best friend and the Mom of the kids I grew up with. And, I kinda wanted to talk here, because Jo B and I have talked a lot in the past and really get each other and she has been a great help to me many times, so I felt safe talking about it here.
Thank you for listening.
I hope you all are doing as well as you can be doing while dealing with grief.

Story... everytime someone else we love dies its like we go through again the deaths that came before THEM I think.... and this time you also were seeing pictures of the lives of some of those you love when you were all together.. so that just magnified that and put faces upon the grief you would already have been feeling... it must have been so bittersweet for you... I know when I had a dream recently where I saw Brandon and held him up and said "THERE you are" and actually SAW his face once again, that it was both wonderful and so painful it was a dream AND a nightmare in some ways... because I also knew in the dream that he had died... sometimes I want so hard to just close my eyes and BE where Brandon is, and my mom and dad and others I've lost if only for a tiny bit of a fraction of a second.... see it ... where they are... feel and see and hear what they see and feel and hear.... I keep trying to imagine it.... to let go of HERE just for a WINK of time ...just long enough to catch the tiniest little HINT of them...... I'm glad you came in here and shared.... we are all needing each other ... those of us left behind....

Dolly - thanks. Everything you say makes sense, especially since I can hardly look at pictures of my Mom to this day. For some reason I can look at pictures of my Dad but not my Mom. It just hurts too much. I had an experience similar to what you've described with Brandon when you saw his face. I had a dream that me and my Mom were going to go hang out on Saturday like we always did and then I woke up and realized she was dead and I was grieving as hard as the day she died - it was like I lost her again. And, I have that longing to get a glimpse of where they are too - I need more than belief or faith - I need to KNOW where they are and that they are okay. Maybe that makes me selfish. I told a friend of mine the last time I saw her that my problem was that I didn't want to move into the glorious future that she kept promising me was waiting for me - I want things the way the used to be - but they never can be, can they? Thank you so much for all you said. And, I'm sorry you lost Brandon - I hope it soon gets easier for both of us - for all of us.
JB - thank you for the pictures. I love them both, but I really like that tiger. On the pictures you posted a couple of days ago, I also very much like the rainbow like Dolly does. Rainbows are very special to me since my Mom and Dad died. This may sound hard to believe - but there was a double rainbow outside my Mom's window for a while before she died and when she died, there was a double rainbow outside my dad's window once when he almost died and snapped back, and then right after he died I stepped outside to be greeted by a huge double rainbow (it was the middle of the night in a room with no open window when he died, so I wasn't aware if we got a rainbow then) and the feeling I felt in my soul just told me it was from my Dad or about my Dad or something. Plus that one stayed in front of my car and right next to my driver's side window all the way home no matter what way I turned.

Jo B - I like than dancing bear too. My dad would have loved that too. He loved cute .gifs of animals like that.
I was looking at your picture of the cemetery. I wasn't sure if you were talking about that cloudy spot off to the right (facing the picture) of that thing off to the left between the two trees that looks like a streak of light. That streak of light - I've seen that in a bunch of pictures since my Dad died - probably 6 or 8 pictures something like that has shown up in. I'm not sure what it is. And, when my nephew died a few years ago, we saw something similar to that light but more cloudy than a streak in pictures above his Mom's head for a long time after her died.
Can I ask everyone to pray for my step mother-in-law, Jan Sharp. We found out this week that she has an aggressive form of brain cancer. I'm very worried for her. Thank you for your prayers.

Has anyone here had any feelings or "knowing" that their loved one was going to pass away? Something like a premonition or feeling of foreboding?

LR I definitely had a feeling or foreboding of doom the year before Daniel died actually. My son was very ill from complications of Crohn's Disease. But that had nothing to do with how he died. Even when he was getting better physically I still had that sense of foreboding. I even told my counselor about it because I couldn't shake it even when good things were happening.
