About Us
The International Conference on After Death Communication was started by noted authors, bereaved parents and business people to meet the need of those seeking information about the afterlife and how to communicate with loved ones who have died. We do this in a credible way to bring understanding, comfort and healing to the bereaved as well as those seeking a greater understanding of death and consciousness after death. The latest research brings a greater understanding of what happens to loved ones who die – specifically that the consciousness, while in the physical body, continues after the death of the physical form. These findings confirm the continuity of life and are a soothing balm to assuage the grief of the bereaved. Conference Features
