Many, many people experience after-death communication. Almost 50 percent of widows and widowers have experiences they "know" are their deceased spouses. Almost the same number of people over 60 years old do, too. The ADC stories from 9/11 are truly inspiring and very revealing about the nature of consciousness and the connection love makes even beyond death. As many of the answers above clearly show, the main obstacle for receiving an ADC is the belief that they can not happen, or should not happen. That is truly sad. There are about as many means for ADC as there are for communication among the living. Beyond dogmatic denial of ADC, the next biggest block to experiencing our loved ones (even pets) who have passed on, is the intensity of our grief in their passing. The intensity of that pain can take up so much of our awareness that we can't notice that they are there for us. A friend of mine, who lost his father to cancer, said one day he just shouted out, "Dad, I miss you so much!" What he was surprised to hear back was, "Son, if you miss me, I'm right here. If you miss the past, you better work on that." I've had many ADC experiences, and the evidence is that if there is a need and a connection, most people will. I hope you will look for them in the days to come.
