After death, a spirit will often stay around earth until after the memorial services and their immediate loved ones have gone back into their normal way of life, will keep their earth bound connections, and will visit their homes and their loved ones. Question 327: Do spirits ever attend their own funerals? Answer: Very Often. But in cases where they are still in the state of bewilderment that follows death, they do not understand what is going on.
pg. 154, 2003Question 328: Is a spirit ever present at meetings of its heirs? Answer: Almost always. Providence offers such occasions as learning experiences and for the spirit to reassess its views. The spirit is able then to determine what the declarations of affection and devotion it heard during life were really worth....
pg. 154, 2003...souls often have little interest in what happens to their bodies once they are physically dead...However, many other souls want to hover around the place where they died for a few Earth days, usually until after their funerals.
pg. 13, 1996...there is one basic reason for many spirits not wanting to immediately leave the place of their physical death. This comes from a desire to mentally reach out to comfoft loved ones before progressing further into the spirit world.
pg. 14, 1996There are souls who choose to remain at the scene of their death for a while. Discarnates who choose to comfort someone who is grieving, or have other reasons to stay near the place of their death for a while, experience no sense of time loss.
pg. 1, 2003In many cases, immediately on leaving the body there is, of course, amazement and a recognition of the situation. The body itself may be viewed, for example, and many funerals have a guest of honor amidst the company - and no one gazes in the face of the corpse with as much curiosity and wonder.
pg. 123, 1994The spirit body may take some days of your time before it becomes completely separated from the earthly body, and it may be hindered very much by the combined thoughts of the sorrowers who are participants in the dismal rites. Instead of departing from the earthly sphere, the discarnate one will be attracted to the scene of obsequial activities, and more than likely will be saddened himself by what he is witnessing and by the sorrow of those he has left behind. He will feel a heavy weight within him of the separation that has come about, and perhaps being ignorant of what has befallen him, he will be doubly distressed, and even trebly distressed by the fact that he speaks to his friends but they cannot hear him. And how great a difference a little knowledge would make! (from channeled spirit of Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson)
pg. Chapt1, 1968"There was a crash and a blackness. It was not really pain as most people think of pain-a rending crash and then gone...I lay quiet and pictures came before me of myself as a little boy...Then I saw a car coming. I saw it brake and push something along the road. I looked, and it was my body. I looked at myself and saw my own body [double] seeming quite real and solid...Suddenly I saw Grandpapa, standing smiling all lit up, and knew I was killed. I said at once, 'Then mother was right-I have got an etheric body!' I felt terribly muddled and confused. Then came the thought of you...so I began to walk along the road...You opened the window and called, but did not see me. Yet I could see what you were thinking-how frightened you were! Suddenly I remembered what you said-that spirits can go through matter. I said, 'Here goes! and ran at the door-and passed right through it. I tried it two or three times...I shall be at the funeral tomorrow...I am still mixed up with the earth." (Alice Gilbert, Philip in Two Worlds, 1948, pg 89)
pg. 24, 1974I went out suddenly, in full strength, consequently it did not take long for me to awaken...The shock was terrible...I was at home in my father's house as much as ever I was. I heard every word uttered, saw the sadness, and, as it were, lived it. I could not make myself known. (Dr. Hereward Carrington, Psychical Phenomena and the War, 1918, p 23)
pg. 27, 1974"He is telling me that he was at the house with you when the sheriff came and knocked on the
door."
pg. 75, 2014"Well, when I was waiting at home for my son to pick me up, I was sitting with Paul's picture in
my hands on the couch and I asked out loud to Paul, I said, "Paul, if it really you tonight, then
I want you tell that very same story about you and your brother. That is just incredible,
absolutely amazing!!! I cannot believe he came through with that. Wow!"
Paul knew his brother and mom were suffering greatly and struggling to come to terms with
his sudden and tragic passing. He also knew that they needed proof, especially his brother, to
be able to believe that it was really him and he did a great job in bringing through things that
only they would have known. Paul also proved to them that night that he was, in no uncertain
terms, alive and well and still carried with him the same great charm and sense of humor he
had in his life. He also showed them that he was still around them by bringing through the
things they asked him too and talking about things that had happened with their business
that occurred after his passing...That night changed the way they viewed his life and death,
and his life after death. For they know now, that he is indeed alive and well and never really
far away and all they have to do is think of him and he is there with them.
