Have you ever wondered if someone you cared about was reaching out to you from heaven because of the very specific way your attention was grabbed?
Perhaps it’s because we are thinking about that person, and they see an opportunity to say hello and let us know they are OK. That’s what happened to me recently as I was helping a friend’s daughter pack up belongings after the friend had passed away.
My family and I have known Penny for years. Penny’s daughter and I went to the same college, and became friends a few years later.
Whenever I think of Penny, I picture a smiling blue-eyed, blonde-haired ball of fire and energy, with a great sense of humor. Although small in stature, she had no difficulty making her voice heard. I’ve given her a few psychic readings over the years, which gave the two of us a higher connection.
Penny died recently, and her daughter had the difficult task of determining which keepsakes and family heirlooms she needed to save and which she needed to give away.
As we worked together to clear out Penny’s house, I would get lost in memories of Penny. In those moments, I would spot bright new pennies on the floor. This happened multiple times during the day, and in unexpected locations. After a while it occurred to me Penny was reaching out, letting me know she was happy, and so I said aloud, “I wonder if Penny is trying to communicate with us?” At that moment, I looked down into a box of papers and found an entire Ziploc bag full of pennies. I laughed! Of course, she was reaching out and letting us know she was OK!
Elaine’s Story
This isn’t the first time someone close has let me know they are OK on the other side. I had a very good friend, Elaine, who died unexpectedly in 2011. As I was still working through the shock of her sudden death, she began to communicate with me through my cell phone. I looked down and there was a message – How?! – that said I needed to go out to my shed and find the old letters she wrote to me back in high school. Once there, she began communicating in my head, telling me exactly where to look and what to look for. I found the letters, blacked out the negative comments she made about her sister (per her request), and took the letters to her daughter as a keepsake. I remain connected to her daughter, who is doing well and has a family of her own now.
I stepped away from my computer for a moment as I was writing Elaine’s story. Imagine my surprise when I saw a series of random numbers embedded in the middle of the story. Do the numbers have meaning? I don’t believe so. I do believe that Elaine is still around and playing with my electronics, however.
Communication After Death Can Be a Healing Experience
Chances are you have experienced loss in your life – it could be a pet, a friend, or a family member. Grief has no timeline, so how we respond may vary. At times, we may be inconsolable, and at other times, we may be grateful as it may be a kindness for someone to pass away if that person was suffering and in pain.
When someone we care about dies, we may find ourselves in an unsettled state of being with unusual thoughts, feelings and experiences. This is where After Death Communications comes in. After Death Communications (ADC) is a “spiritual experience that occurs when someone is contacted directly and spontaneously by a family member or friend who has died,” according to Psychology Today.
There are 12 categories where you may experience someone you know who has passed including:
- Sensing a presence.
- Hearing a voice.
- Feeling a touch.
- Smelling a fragrance.
- Seeing something such as a vapor or human form.
- Visions of the person as lifelike.
- Twilight – you see something when you are about to fall asleep, about to wake up.
- Dreams
- Out-of-body ADCs – Out-of-body contact with the person.
- Physical phenomena such as lights, appliances turning on.
- Telephone calls from the deceased.
- Symbolic ADCs
Bill Guggenheim created the term ADC and wrote a book together with his former wife, Judy, called “Hello From Heaven!” The book chronicles the stories of 353 people who have had after death experiences. ADCs were profiled on ABC’s 20/20 in 1996.
While ADC events are unusual, one and five people have an ADC experience, says Mr. Guggenheim. We shouldn’t fear these experiences as they offer us hope that life is eternal.
