What happens when we die? People have been guessing since humans first began to think. Spirituality & religion provided the answers in the past, but in the age of science we're thrown back into the dark. If science cannot 'prove' there is life
- or something
- after death, then it doesn't exist. & yet ordinary people continue to experience unexplained phenomena when a friend or family member dies. These are normal people, even sceptics like Patricia Pearson. Prompted by her family's surprising experiences around the deaths of her father & her sister, Pearson set out on an open-minded journey of inquiry as a journalist. She discovered that far more people were having uncanny & transcendent experiences than generally let on: roughly half the bereaved population, plus all those who observe the dying (nurses, hospice workers, soldiers, etc.). With many years of examination into current grief research under her belt, she concludes that we cannot simply deprive people the legitimacy of these experiences until there is more solid evidence that 'we inhabit a purely material & mechanistic universe'. Pearson points to new scientific explanations around how dying is experienced, giving these luminous moments credence & understanding. As she says, ' The dying may finally be able to convey to us what they are feeling, & where they glimpse themselves to be going.' Opening Heaven's Door recounts deeply affecting stories of messages from the dying & the dead in a fascinating work of investigative journalism, pointing to new scientific explanations that give these luminous moments the importance felt by those who experience them. This riveting & intelligent work will be welcomed by the many thousands of readers of Proof of Heaven & Heaven Is for Real.
