Author Description

My greatest fear had occurred. My best buddy had unexpectedly died and I had to deal with the pain and grief. Fortunately, life had given some preparation for this task; preparation for understanding the grief process that I was experiencing, a direction for learning more about death, and some evidence that life continues after physical death. I had met some people who seemed to have the ability to communicate with the departed. I had read about individuals who had died and been resuscitated who reported events indicating that, while physically dead, their awareness had not ceased.I had observed my dad, just before his death responding to something unseen by my brother and me; and I had heard of another person's similar experience.In my education and life experiences I had learned that, before accepting a point of view, I wanted to see supporting evidence. So after Michael's death I decided to pursue more evidence that somehow Michael might still exist; and I found quite a bit.This is my story of how these experiences and explorations led me to believe that Michael didn't cease to exist when his body died; and that I can sometimes have some communication with him; and, more importantly, can be with him after my body dies. All of this has allowed me to have a level of peace that I couldn't have imagined at the time of his death.
