Death Dying

Gifts from the Unknown

Using Extraordinary Experiences to Cope with Loss and Change

A fine follow-up to the author's two earlier books on 'after death communication' (ADCs) reviewed in an earlier edition of 'Network'. Here his focus is on the use of extraordinary experiences to cope with loss and change. Like his earlier book, this one contains a range of remarkable experiences that are used as points of departure for further reflection. He discusses the role and use of extraordinary experiences in the grief process before going into the processes required for healing and moving on: expression of emotion, establishing new relationships, forming a new identity, reestablishing hope, finishing unfinished business and maintaining positive memories. This is a profound and moving work that is sure to provide solace and insight to the grieving.
