Forty-two percent of people surveyed claim to have had some type of after-death contact with a loved one. This book examines those contacts—seeing, hearing, or sensing the presence of the deceased; feeling a touch; smelling a fragrance; meeting the loved one in a dream; unusual appearances of birds and animals; and other unexplainable happenings—all of which have provided millions with relief that their loved ones still live on.
