Purpose of ADCs

According to the Guggenheims’ research, the purpose of these visits, contacts, and signs by those who have left their physical body is to offer comfort, reassurance, and hope to their parents, spouse, siblings, children, grandchildren, other family members, and friends.  They want you to know they’re still alive, and that you’ll be reunited with them when it’s your turn to leave your lifetime on Earth.  They want to assure you they’ll be there to meet you and greet you – and perhaps even to assist you – as you make your own transition.


The most frequent messages expressed verbally or non-verbally by those who have made their transition include:
I’m okay … I’m fine … Everything is okay … Don’t worry about me … Don’t grieve for me ...

I’m happy … Everything will be alright … Go on with your life … Please forgive ...

Thank you for taking care of me … I’ll always be there for you … I’m watching over you ...

Please let me go on with my new life … I’ll see you again … I love you … Goodbye ...

Many people report feeling an incredible sense of peace – “the peace that passeth all understanding” – during and after an ADC experience.  Almost all after-death communications provide comfort, hope, and profound emotional and spiritual healing, especially to those who are bereaved or are fearful of death.  ADCs usually reduce the intensity of the experiencer’s grief and shorten the duration of his or her bereavement.  Hearing or reading firsthand ADC accounts provides courage and strength to patients who have a life-threatening illness, and they inspire caregivers to the elderly and the terminally ill, like hospital and hospice personnel.

Unfortunately, some people react with fear when they have an ADC.  Typically this is because they are startled by the suddenness of the event, or they may have never heard of one happening to anybody else.  They may automatically assume they are “losing their mind” or “going crazy.”  Others find it difficult to reconcile the possibility of after-death communication with their philosophical or religious beliefs.  The Guggenheims encourage you to trust your own experiences and accept them as being real for you.
