Appearances: Paranormal Experiences at the End of Life and in Bereavement

It is not reasonable or scientifically provable; yet, the very last experiences of the dying are that of deceased loved ones returning, or angels emerging, to accompany him or her safely into death and into life after. The newly departed then often reappear to the bereaved to give them assurance, strength, and purpose to go on. What is this phenomenon, this spiritual terrain our loved ones enter into at the end of life? What can these experiences teach us about the possibilities in the spiritual terrain of the living? Drawing on her work with the dying and bereaved in hospice, and on her theological and spiritual reflections and insights, Dr. Rusnak will explore these questions and more.
