I had an interesting conversation with my sister at lunch today. We had both gotten the newsletter from Compassion Friends and there's a very long article about after-death communications (ADC) and the first completed research study. These spiritual experiences are extremely common and in many other parts of the world they are discussed openly and freely.

My sister has been reluctant to share with anyone the conversations she has with her deceased daughter....mostly because people will think she has lost her mind. Her daughter comes to her often and reassures her...she has told her that she is happier than she has ever been. Needless to say, my sister is very comforted by these conversations.

The article is too long to post here, I'm trying to find a way to link it.
I did find this site very interesting: http://www.after-death.com/about/adc.htm
