I found this site in light of one of my friends, Roger passing in a tragic accident on Monday January 26, 1998, I miss him dearly, his hockey carreer was progressing at a fast rate and he was always a cheerful person to be with.My best friend mother Judy also passed away almost 2years past, although I never met her I feel spiritually connected to her and I wish to contact her. My grandfather Don and my cousin Viki are also amoung those I dearly miss and I do aslo wish to contact them. I live here remembering their hope and dreams and living the way they would want me to.Not a day passes with out a thought of each and everyone of them and I do hope that in light of thier prayers that they will be guardian angels to look upon me and watch over me in all that I do. All of my prayers and thoughts are reflcetions of their spirits. God has taken them to a place much greater than that of earth fro them to do a special job and look over us. A star shines brightly for those who've past, as they watch over me.I love you guys, Judy, Viki, Grandpa, and Roger.

I had communication from my Dad after his death and I have found such comfort from you book, it is so comforting to know that the experience I had was real, even though my husband experienced it with, me there are always those times when you wonder if your imagination is running wild. I am now sure in my heart and my mind that my Dad said goodbye to me in his own way. Thank you, Sue Smith

I wished I could have called in that night and talked with you. I like knowing that our worlds are so connected. I would like to connect with her. How can I contact you.

I really enjoyed the book. It is by far the best and most inspirational book I have ever read. Death has not been something that I feared myself because I believe I will go to heaven. What I did fear however was losing family and friends and then having to go through the rest of my life without them. Now, after reading your book, I have no fear whatsoever about going through life alone - because I never will be. I thank you for this book. Its exactly what I needed.

Hi, My Dad passed away November 15, 1996 of cancer. I miss him so much, he was my best friend and I believe that we have been together in many incarnations. I think he has visited me a few times, in my dreams. I was taken to a tunnel that he called the "visiting tunnel" It was not dark but it was not bright either, I would say that the light was just right. We went into a room and he talked to me for a long time (or it seemed like a long time) he said,"I cannot always come to you in a body form, it takes to much energy, When you see a light go by or you think you see movement that will be me. I will never leave you. I have work to do here, but I will always be in tune with you. he also told me that he was lonely some times and he missed us . That broke my heart. Sometimes I wish that I could die for just two days and come back. That way I could spend some more time with him. I want to thankyou for being on the internet. Knowing that other people believe in the after life helps me get through this saddness and emptiness that I am feeling. Thankyou from Canada, Zoe

My 18 yr. old son, Andy, died 6 mo. ago in a car accident. This site has brought such comfort to me as has the book Hello From Heaven. It's nice to know the many ADCs we've had from Andy are not a product of our insanity but are everyday occurences we bereaved have in common. I've found that the more we open ourselves to signs, the more we receive, or at least the more we're able to perceive.

Our 17yr. old son and 15 yr. old daughter died on 11/17/96 in a horrific house fire. We miss them dearly and are learning how to live with the pain. I read "Hello From Heaven", "Our Children are Forever" and "We are not forgotten", I find much comfort from your books. Hopefully we will be succesful in obtaining an appointment with physic George Anderson. I have had some ADC, however it usually is in the form of dreams and usually only involves just one of my children at a time, rarely both are together. I pray to them and for them and continue a relationship with my son and dauther.

I lost my father on feb 8th 1994. We were very close and still are, but in the spiritual way. I read your book and enjoyed it very much, and it was so good to read that other people believe what I do and that is our loved ones are still with us. I have been contacted many times by my father. Mostly mine come in the form of dreams, but have also felt him near by. I know that he is in heaven and is happy and wants my family to be happy. I have told my best friend about your book and I know when she reads it she will feel the same way I do. Best of luck to you on your research and next book. I would like to talk to you about some of the experiences that I have had with my dad. Sincerly, Rebecca Cummings.

I lost my beloved Jennifer two years ago on January 11, 1996. She was 11 years, 11 months old, born on February 11, 1984 and left on January 11, 1996. She lived more in her 12 years than I have in my whole life, she touched so very many people and actally gave unconditional love to all. I have read Hello from Heaven as well as many, many spiritual books. Jennifer was quite a writer and wrote several stories about crossing over into another beautiful world. Three months before she died she wrote a story about being in the light and reviewing life and being allowed to remain in heaven. I know in my heart she is in heaven, I just would like her standing here telling me. I hope everyday for that. She has sent so many small signs, but you wonder if you are "reaching" for them. I hope to learn more through this web page I just discovered. Thanks to all the hard work of the creators.

I found that It was really great and i was going to buy it for my mom but then she went and got a gift certificate for there and she went and bought the book herself since she had overheard my father and I talking about it. anyways thanks for making such a great book . . . now I don't have to feel like a black sheep abou these things because i know others feel the same thing as I do.

I have read any and all the books I could get, anything to help the pain. We lost our 7 year old son in June of 97 to leukemia. We were not prepared for his death, and I just find it so hard to be without him. He has let us know he was all right in many different ways. I ask him the night before he died to be sure and let mommy know he was okay. And he has. I have loved all the books and the stories. Would like to talk with those that have lost children to cancer. It is comforting to know that our loved ones are near.

My precious son Danny died at the tender age of 9 from a heart condition. While growning from this painful grieving process, I have learned that in order to heal, you need to use your grief to make something positive that will help others as well as yourself. For those who are suffering and grieving the loss of someone Special, I would like to bring them hope and comfort. I can show you how you can actually see, hold, talk to and be with your Special Person by the means of an extraordinary phenomenon called Lucid Dreaming. Lucid Dreaming is simply the ability to become aware and recognize that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. In the instant that you become aware, your dream will transform into a vivid and tangible event. Your dream will become so real, it's as if you are really there and that it is actually happening. The most exciting characteristic is that you can control every aspect of this dream. Not only do you have total control of your own dream body and the actions of others, but you also have the ability to have anyone whom you desire appear in your dream, and it will be as if you are actually with them again. Lucid Dreaming is a natural ability, many people often do it. Even my oldest son Robert said he can "wake up" in his dream and control the things that happen. There is information and techniques that can teach you how to become Lucid while you dream. But for me, it was difficult and I was unable to have a Lucid Dream for a long time. Finally I did it! I was able to hug and kiss my son again, and it felt as though I was actually with him. For myself and others, unfortunately Lucid Dreaming can be difficult to do. I needed to do something that would make it easier so that I could see my son more often. Inspired by the love from GOD, with the desire to see my son again and to help others, I have produced a series of relaxation and visualization tapes that will condition your mind and teach you these techniques. It will heighten your awareness while it quiets your mind. But what makes my tapes unique is that the main focus is for you to dream of your Special Person and to be happy. I call this project "The Divine Reunion". This endevor to help others who are also grieving is done as a memorial to my son Danny. If you would like to talk or for further information please call 610-626-7270 or the Email is STDANIAL@aol.com Sincerly Charles Marish

I has been 8 months since I lost my 17-year old son in a car accident. Nick and I were close, and now we seem just as close in spirit. The most significant thing I have learned from the experience of "losing" my son is that the relationship doesn't stop at all. We come to grips with "death" and come to realize it is different that what we thought it was. Although the grief can be terrible and can last so long, through the grace of God the grief can be lifted, and through faith you gain the confidence that your child isn't lost. You then have one foot step into eternity and your life on this earth can never be the same again. I pray to God to ask him to help build the connection to my son. There were a few dreams right after Nick's accident. Many times it feels like he is right next to me. I recognize him by his "soul", with is the unique combination of mental/emotional characteristics which makes each of us unique. I am working in prayer for the communication to become more specific over time, so that my son and I can continue to maintain and develop our relationship.

My best friend's daughter passed away Nov.24,1997 of cancer, she was only 7 yrs. old and we miss MARISA McMillan very much. This is a poem that was given to her moter befor Christmas that I wanted to share with all of you. My first Christmas in Heaven I see the countless christmas trees around the world below, with tiny ligts like heavens stars, reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear, for I am spending christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many christmas songs, that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare to the christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring, for it is beyond description to ear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I'm not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, and be glad I'm spending christmas, with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift, from my Heavenly home above, I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all "love" is the gift, more precious than pure gold, It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do, for I can't count the blessing, or love he has for each of you. So, have a merry Christmas, and wipe away that tear. Remember, I'm spending Christmas, with Jesus Christ this year. Aurthor Unknown Dearest MARISA, you're an Angel and we miss you and love you.

My uncle Steve began his new journey on October 22, 1997. In the time that has passed, my family & I have tried to find some comfort in knowing that he is now in a better place ( We like to think he's out playing a long game of golf somewhere) and have relied on each other for strength & courage. I had the incredible experience to share Steve's passing on with my aunt Beth and cousins Trinity & Gavin. We are forever changed. I cannot imagine Steve is no longer with us. Even though his physical presence is gone, his aliveness speaks to us in our hearts. My cousin Trinity has been having lucid dreams quite frequently. In them, her Dad speaks to her & she sees & just knows that everything is okay in this state of consciousness. I hope that Steve will somehow let me know, other than my faith in this truth, that the the golf is greener on the other side. However, my most ardent wish is that Steve will come to Beth in a dream to let her know that "She's the Best!". Thank you for allowing me to share my comments. I think this is a wonderful site.

My name is Rachel, I am 19 yrs old and on Sept 8th, 1997 I lost my boyfriend Greg in a drowning accident.Greg was my first love, soulmate, and best friend.We do not yet know the truth about what happened to him on the night of his death making it very hard for me to put him to rest. I am miles away from our family and friends making it difficult to talk to anyone who will understand. This is one reason why I was looking for something or someone I could share my experiences with and who would relate. I have had several vivid dreams about him which comforted me knowing he is in a better place and is still apart of me,but I still need to understand what happened to him. I have considered speaking with a Psychic to help me uncover the truth.If anyone knows of a reputable source I could contact either on the internet or in the twin cities area, please e-mail. Thank you for listening it really makes a difference. Rachel

I don't have anyone who was close to me to have passed on but I certainly and strongly believe that I have experienced ADC's in different ways. Is that possible?? I had a maternal grandmother (who I hardly knew) pass away when I was 6 and an aunt (who I hadn't seen for maybe 15 years) pass away. (I loved this aunt dearly, though). I sometimes feel, and strongly know, that there is a presence around me but am sometimes fearful that it might be, I'll use the word "evil" for lack of a better word. I want to welcome the presence if it's positive. Any comments?

I wrote in here when I first came to this site back in the summer of 1995. Before I came here I searched for a group in my home town for an Aids survivors group and came up empty handed. There is no such group to be found any where in my area. I attended some groups For Aids victums and was able to get a better understanding of what my Husband had gone threw with this decease. But, it was hard for them to understand my position as a survivor. I pretty much gave up on finding anyone who could understand, how it feels to stand-by and watch helplessly as someone dies with Aids. I was surfing on the net one day and came across this site and I have been comming here every since. My ADCs actually started when I was 11 years old,when my brother sudenly passed in 1975. Since then I have lost my Aunt,Grandfather,Mother-in-Law,and my Husband. The most dramatic ADC's was with my Mother-in-Law and Husband. My Mother-in-Law helped me to help my Husband to cross over. It was quite an experience. Thank You All for your subport threw one of the worst times in my life.

A phone call from Heaven: I recently lost my son Benjamin on 6/4/97. About two months ago, I was having a difficult time sleeping. I laid my head on the pillow and closed my eyes. Within seconds I heard the phone ring. Knowing I wasn't asleep,and yet knowing that I didn't have the phone next to me . I said Hello as if I were talking on the phone. It was 11:35 pm, I heard on the other end"Hi Mom, it's Ben! I asked him how he was able to talk with me and he said "God allowed him to call me...I was so excited and I knew if I opened my eyes it would all be over, I asked him to tell God, Thank you for me. I also asked if he were in Heaven? He said no,but he was with God.?? Then I aslked him Why was it so hard to hear him as it sounded as If he was talking through a tunnel. Ben with his sense of humor replied" MOM, what do you expect, I'm one hundred million miles away from you? Ha ...We exchanged a few more words and then I asked him if I would hear from him again. He said Yes!!.... I knew the conversation was ending and started to get emotional. As soon as it was over I jumped up and looked at the clock . It was now 12:00pm..I remebered the whole conversation and ran downstairs to call my daughter. It was a blessing to hear from Ben and to know he was alright. There is communication I have experienced this in more ways then one. Thank you for allowing me to share my experience.

I just wanted too say after reading some of the messages that were posted. I had lost my mother and my best friend in 1984 too cancer, and then in 1985 I lost my sister too suicide, and then in 1992 I lost my twin daughters shortly after birth. I just wanted too say that I have had so many ADC with my mother and my daughters that it is hard to keep track of now. I cherish them all the time. For a while there I thought that I was really loosing my mind, like some of you think. I had Greta ALexander (a psychic) do readings for me too let me know that I wasnt loosing my mind. She had told me that my mother comes too see me alot and that when she does, she makes herself known too me, (which she does) My mother had the gift and was extremeley sensitive and so am I. My daughters I know saved me from suicide days after I lost them. At first I thought that it was my imagination, because of my grief that I had for them, but those lil angels proved me wrong, because they showed me my future in my second dream, that I would have more children again, and they were right they showed me that I was going too have another child that would be born in the winter and the next year in November 18,1993 my son Alec was born. and how I know that it was my daughters showing me my future was that EVERYTHING in the dream was there, the color of the hospital room, the season that he was born in, I know that it wasnt me doing this for the simple fact that I was positive that I didnt want anymore children for the fear that I would loose another child. These ADC's that you all are having are TRUE! They do happen and they are a PRECIOUS gift that you are being blessed with. Praise God that we are able too still keep in touch with our loved ones after thier passing. Alot of you have written wanting to know James VanPraaghs address.....Let me tell you one thing! This man is truly a gift from God, because 2 months ago I had a reading done by him and he knew NOTHING about my life and he knew that my mother comes too me and makes herself known to me thru electrical lights and that colored "Auras" ( that is the only way that I can decribe it is Auras) this man truly has the gift and God Bless him for that. He is truly remarkable along with the lady Greta Alexander. Sorry about writing so much I am a talker.....:o)

After my father died in 1979, I had a series of spiritually healing and predictive dreams with my father. These were confirmed by consequent occurrences. My father appeared to my mother in their backyard and also spoke to my brother at the exact moment my water broke and I went into labor. My daughter to this day is able to "see" my father (whom she never met on this side) and receive messages from him.

My Mother passed away on October 21st 1995. Two days later I experienced a sentient/tactile/olfactory ADC. I was so moved by this unbelievable experienced that I could hardly focus on anything else. I will be contacting you Bill & Judy to give you incredible details about my experience. My sister and father have experienced ADCs after the death of my Mother also. Thank you soooo much for `Hello from Heaven`, I now know that I ain`t crazy. I`m leaving you with a poem I wrote a year later after my Mother`s death.......I AM MY MOTHER'S DAUGHTER by Nicole Lavergne…(written in October 96) It took me over a year to write this down… My head was searching but no words were found… Why did death ring my Mother's door… As my Father stood by and heard her snore… It happened some October morning… Such a dark day and the rain was pouring… I can't remember the feelings much… My soul however, never hurt as such… My Mother went to the other side… "No good byes, no hugs, no kisses.."? I cried… You came to me on the second night… I felt you caressing my soul just right… A soothing aroma I smelt… I just know what I felt… I will always be my Mother's daughter.… Just a little girl wanting her Mother… I have so many words to say… I'll never see your hair turn gray… Or count the wrinkles on your face… And watch you grow old with grace… I never weighed the odds against the stack… while drifting away I often look back… Playing house with my little sister… Pyjama parties and a game of Twister… I now look at my daughters with pride… I know your love is alive inside… If my daughters marry one day..… I know I will shed some tears your way… It was only yesterday or the day before… I was thinking how I miss you more… The circle of life from above.… Is only a link to "Eternal love"… I sure wish you could hear all this… Gazing at the sky I blow you a kiss… The day my Mother died I grew old… My reason for living was unfold… I am my Mother's daughter.… I will love you forever.… I am my daughters Mother… As we all hold hands in laughter…

I am currently reading Hello From Heaven and really enjoying it. Two years ago I read Raymond Moody's book Reunions, on a similar subject. I have read most of the NDE books out there and am a member of IANDS. At first I avoided this subject because it seemed too "spooky" for me, but have revised my opinion dramatically. Thank you for a terrific book and for added evidence that we live on.

My only child, Shannon, was killed in a bicycle accident on May 3, 1997. She was my soulmate, my love, my life, my sunshine and my angel. I know that she watches down on my from heaven and I feel her presence many times. I have had many dreams with her and I know she sends me signs so I will know she is okay. I miss her more than life itself and I cannot tell you how much I loved/love her. I would have given my own live for her 110 times over, but I didn't get the chance. I will miss her for the rest of my life, and I know longer fear death, for it will join me with her once more. I know that she wants me to go on with my live and to find some meanining in it. The thing I can't figure out is why God wants me to be so alone. I'don't know what to do, sometimes I just want to die. I'm so tired of trying, I feel like I'm playing "let's pretend" most of the time, because people just don't understand that 6-7-8 months or years doesn't erase these children from your heart. I think about her first thing and last thing every day. I feel so lost and alone. She was my best friend, I will miss her forever, my heart cries out for her, every day my heart breaks again. Life will never be as much fun,

I recently lost my 24 year old son Jason, in an automobile accident. My wife, daughter and I have been struggling, with great difficulty in trying to deal with what still seems so unreal to us. Our children are our treasures, our future and our legacy. One can truly understand, only when they unfortunately experience this. I have a multiple page tribute to my son Jason, on the web at the http//virtual-memorials.com website, which was created to enable people to share a little about their loved ones with others. This has been very helpful to me by channeling my energies in keeping my son alive through this medium. After finding your website and reading your book "Hello From Heaven", I have found it somewhat comforting and now have some new found hope that he is still with me. I think the work you are doing is very special and meaningful to many of us who are dealing with real life. Further, people like Rosemary Altea, James Van Praage, and George Anderson, who claim to be and have demonstrated their gift of being a conduit for the spirit world to communicate with us, are starting to get worldwide exposure and recongition through the various media and their "best seller" books. Your efforts are appreciated and supported by all of us in knowing and sharing the fact that many of us have had or will have proven ADC experiences. This I believe is just the tip of the iceberg, as over the years to come, with more efforts devoted to life after death research, GOD knows heaven's the limit.
