How long after death can you communicate?

Someone who has an after death communication (ADC) will see, hear, or feel the presence of a deceased friend or relative in their own space. These ADCs are unassisted and spontaneous, not involving psychics, mediums or therapists. It is most common for an ADC to occur only once to an individual, usually during the first 24 hours after death. The communication experience is one of comfort, often ending the pain from the loss. The Guggenheims (1995) describe twelve common types of ADCs: sensing a presence, hearing a voice, feeling a touch, smelling a fragrance, partial appearances, full appearances, ADC visions, twilight ADCs, sleep-state ADCs, telephone ADCs, ADCs of physical phenomena and symbolic ADCs. They also report 79% of the cases occur to individuals who have a close emotional connection to the deceased. Sometimes, to the dismay of family members, the ADCs occur to more distant health professionals or friends. Here is a case reported by Lawrence (2014) of an ADC occurring to a nurse after her patient died. Charlene, a hospice nurse, made her daily visit to Sam to monitor his pain level and his emotional status. He seemed comfortable. Since she had known him, he had been in a hospital bed downstairs in the dining room of his house, a converted bedroom. His wife told Charlene he had finished telling her how to manage the finances in the house, which he had so deftly done all their 43 years of marriage. That evening Charlene was reading in bed before sleep. The phone rang. The evening hospice nurse called to tell her Sam had died. A feeling of sadness covered Charlene. She reached over to turn out the lights, when Sam appeared at the foot of her bed. He had forgotten to tell his wife about insurance papers he had left in an upstairs bureau. Charlene had not been upstairs in the house but Sam gave her specific instructions about the location of the bureau and the papers. Charlene assured him she would visit his wife and find the papers. Sam then left as quickly as he had arrived. After the funeral, Charlene followed up with a bereavement visit to Sam’s wife. She informed her of the visit she had had from Sam. Curious, they both went upstairs to the bedroom Sam and his wife had shared. Charlene recognized the bureau from Sam’s description and found the insurance papers tucked in a book in the middle drawer (Lawrence, 2014). There have been many studies of ADCs. Of course the most popular one is described in Charles Dickens’ book, A Christmas Carol when Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by his former partner, Jacob Marley. Recent research describes the incidence of DBCs as being between 50% to 80% occurring to family members of recently deceased individuals (Rees, 1971; Grimby 1993;1998; Haraldsson, 1988.) The Guggenheims (1995) estimate 50 million people in the US have had such and experience.

What is the last part of the body that dies?

The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, then the kidneys and pancreas, which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day.

Asked by: Andy Hurman, Bedford

Definitely not. The brain and nerve cells require a constant supply of oxygen and will die within a few minutes, once you stop breathing. The next to go will be the heart, followed by the liver, then the kidneys and pancreas, which can last for about an hour. Skin, tendons, heart valves and corneas will still be alive after a day. White blood cells, which are more independent, can keep going for almost three days.
