[Reviewed and updated December 9, 2023]
After Death Communication (ADC) is one of the most frequently discussed topics in the online Grief Healing Discussion Groups I moderate, and it is one I've written about in an earlier post.
In an online TVGuide article I read that, in a segment broadcast on his program, television's Dr. Mehmet Oz "had quite a wild time watching [famed psychic medium] John Edward do his thing. In fact, the good doc says the experience changed his life!"
What are we to do with all this interest in ADC?
Research indicates that roughly 60% of those whose loved ones have died will experience some form of after-death communication (the subjective sense of having been in contact with the deceased), so that today ADC is considered to be a prominent and normal feature of bereavement. Now grief counselors are encouraged to support, enable and empower grief-stricken individuals to maintain their loving connections with their deceased loved ones, including such post-death encounters as ADCs.

You can see Dr. Childs being interviewed by Dr. Heidi Horsley in this Open to Hope video program:
For your convenience, I've also assembled an extensive list of ADC Resources you may wish to explore. If you'd like to add to this list, please do so in the Comments section below:
