THE 100 MOST ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY

WHO HAS THE EXPERIENCE?
People from all walks of life have reported Extraordinary Experiences. I have interviewed and received letters from college professors, secretaries, housewives, airline pilots, salespeople, medical professionals, and students to name a few. Individuals from all races and creeds, celebrities as well as the not so famous, rich and poor have had contacts of some sort. History is replete with incidents in which some form of unexpected acknowledgment or communication has occurred from unknown or unseen sources.

WHEN DO THE EXPERIENCES OCCUR?
The experience often takes place within the first several months following the death of the loved one. However, some have had the experience many years after the death of the beloved and it still helps them fill the void in their hearts, finish unfinished business, or become convinced that consciousness survives bodily death.

VALIDATION AND UNDERSTANDING
Of course, in order for the Extraordinary Experience to play a role in these ways and be recognized as an event which results in giving and receiving love, there is often the need for validation and understanding from significant others in the social circle of the bereaved. A single individual who provides support and recognizes the merit inherent in the experience can make a major difference in the way the bereaved deals with the death of the loved one.
