Communing with the Dead Othniel J Seiden MD

There exists the false belief that such after-death communications are rare, and that they may be indicative of the existence of psychological problems. From our experience interviewing survivors, nothing is further from the truth. We feel strongly that survivors would greatly benefit from more awareness of how frequently these communications occur. Such knowledge might allow them to be comforted when they experience after death communication. It would help them share these experiences with others thus gaining support, as well as giving support to other bereaved family and friends.

It is equally important for counselors, ministers, and therapists to understand the prevalence of such communications so that they can provide the validation and support their patients and clients need.
