After-Death Communications (ADC) Experiences
Implications
According to the Guggenheims’ research, the purpose of these visits,
contacts, and signs by those who have left their physical body 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 turn to leave your lifetime on Earth. They
want to assure you they’ll be there to meet you and greet you – and
perhaps even to assist you – as you make your own transition.
The most frequent messages expressed verbally or non-verbally by those
who have made their transition include:
I’m okay … I’m fine … Everything is okay … Don’t worry about me …
Don’t grieve for me
I’m happy … Everything will be alright … Go on with your life …
Please forgive _______
Thank you for taking care of me … I’ll always be there for you … I’m
watching over you
Please let me go on with my new life … I’ll see you again … I love
you … Goodbye
Many people report feeling an incredible sense of peace – “the peace
that passeth all understanding” – during and after an ADC experience.
Almost all after-death communications provide comfort, hope, and
profound emotional and spiritual healing, especially to those who are
bereaved or are fearful of death. ADCs usually reduce the
intensity of the experiencer’s grief and shorten the duration of his or
her bereavement. Hearing or reading firsthand ADC accounts provides
courage and strength to patients who have a life-threatening illness,
and they inspire caregivers to the elderly and the terminally ill, like
hospital and hospice personnel.
Unfortunately,
some people react with fear when they have an ADC. Typically this
is because they are startled by the suddenness of the event, or they may
have never heard of one happening to anybody else. They may
automatically assume they are “losing their mind” or “going crazy.”
Others find it difficult to reconcile the possibility of after-death
communication with their philosophical or religious beliefs. The
Guggenheims encourage you to trust your own experiences and accept them
as being real for you.
Of
course there are numerous critics of after-death communication (ADC)
experiences. Many atheists, agnostics, and skeptics insist, “They
can’t be true, so they aren’t!” They even refuse to examine the
evidence. They assert ADCs are merely “grief-induced
hallucinations” based upon wish fulfillment, imagination, magical
thinking, fantasies, memories, denial, and emotional needs. Some
conservative religious leaders preach that ADCs are satanic or demonic
and conflict with the teachings of their faith. Hello From Heaven!
contains six categories which provide persuasive evidence that ADC
experiences are authentic contacts by deceased loved ones.
Timing Is Everything:
ADCs Before the News Numerous
experiencers report having an ADC before they learned of their loved
one’s sudden and unexpected death. Therefore they would not have
been grieving the loss of their relative or friend. Frequently the
time of the transition and the time of the ADC are exactly the same.
Timing Is Everything: ADCs Before the News
Expect the Unexpected:
ADCs Years Later Some people have an
ADC experience 5, 10, 20, 30, or more years after the death of their
loved one. Presumably they would not be actively grieving the
death of their relative or friend that many years later. In
addition, the longer they happen after the transition, the more
important the message typically is.
Expect the Unexpected: ADCs Years Later
Validation:
Evidential ADCs Many ADC experiences are
“evidential” because they provide specific information the experiencers
did not know – and could not have known – before their ADCs occurred.
For example, they may be told the location of something of emotional or
financial value that is lost, which they are looking for, but aren’t
able to find. In other cases, important items are revealed to
them, ones they don’t even know exist.
Validation: Evidential ADCs
Special Delivery:
ADCs for Protection In many cases a
person’s life and property are literally protected or saved because of
information they are given during their ADC. Coauthor, Bill
Guggenheim, was advised by his deceased father to “Go outside and check
the swimming pool,” and when he did, he rescued his 21-month-old son,
Jon, who was drowning.
This category includes people who received protection from potential
automobile and aircraft accidents, medical emergencies, criminal
activities, industrial accidents, a building fire, and undiagnosed
health problems of children and adults. These accounts provide
very compelling evidence that our deceased loved ones are indeed
watching over us – like guardian angels – and can and do intervene when
they are able to do so.
If
you are ever told to “Slow down,” “Stop your car,” “Drive a different
route,” or “Check your car” by a loved one who has died, do so
immediately – and you will very likely avert a serious accident – or
worse. This is equally true if you are ever alerted to call or
check on somebody. Do it immediately, day or night, regardless of
the hour involved. You may literally save their life!
Special Delivery: ADCs for Protection
Saving Grace: ADCs for Suicide
Intervention This category
includes firsthand accounts of people who were planning to take
their own life, and two of them were actually in the process of doing
so. Because a deceased loved one came to them at just the right
moment, they changed their mind – and they were still alive and able to
be interviewed years later. It’s interesting to note that 60% of
those who came back to help someone with suicidal feelings had died from
taking their own life.

Confirmation: ADCs with a
Witness Occasionally two or more
people are together at the same place and time when they share having an
ADC – and they usually learn of this when they speak to each other later
on, about what they felt, heard, and saw. These ADCs attest to the
validity and credibility of after-death communication. And they
confirm that ADCs are objective experiences and not merely subjective
ones.

Prevalence of ADCs
The Guggenheims’ research indicates that after-death communication
experiences are so prevalent they should be regarded as a natural and
normal part of life. ADCs deserve the same public attention and
awareness that near-death experiences (NDEs) have been receiving since
1975. Yet no documentary film, major magazine article, or entire
national television program has ever been devoted to this vast field of
evidence for human survival beyond physical death.
After-death communication (ADC) experiences provide dramatic and
convincing modern-day evidence for life after death. They confirm
that when our body dies, we simply make a transition from this physical
world to a continuing existence in heaven. There we can expect to
have joyous reunions with our deceased relatives and friends, who will
meet us and greet us – and who can and do communicate with us now.
ADCs consistently affirm an essential spiritual message:
Life and
love are eternal.
When a caterpillar dies,
a butterfly is born.
– B. G.
