  Is dying the end or a new beginning? 

In her most recent book, Heavenly Hugs: Comfort, Support, and Hope From the Afterlife, Carla Wills-Brandon pulls back the veil of secrecy from what are called “death bed visions.” She presents gripping proof that life after death exists.   

The author’s proof stacked up as a three-decade research into thousands of incidents in which people either witnessed deceased relatives or angels in person or in dreams near a dying person, or they saw a burst of a pale blue mist leave a dying person’s body. She believes that these undeniable testaments prove that our souls live on after our bodies cease to function. The evidence from her documented cases will be brushed off by some, but most people will readily agree that there is more to life on earth that what is tangible. Either way, the book makes for a fascinating read.

The book spreads twelve chapters written with excellent grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and spelling over 234 pages, with back matter consisting of a detailed chapter-by-chapter Notes section and an Index. This richly researched work explains the author’s belief that “no matter what your religion, spiritual traditions, or philosophy, know that physical death is not the end. As we cross the threshold separating this life from the next, we will not be alone. Reunited with dear ones who have already bridged the gap between this life and the next, fear quickly fades, and joy fills our hearts.”

Particularly compelling are the hundreds of first-hand accounts that she reveals in explicit detail. Those who are about to physically die often talk about seeing a beautiful landscape on the other side, and they tell those near them that they are going there. They seem to have no fear of passing from the mortal world. Peace and fascination overfill their expressions, although those witnessing their revelations are often dumbstruck. At other times, doctors, nurses, friends, and relatives report seeing a wisp of something leave a body at the moment of passing. The author recounts these startling moments with astounding clarity.

The author retells many such experiences that have been matters of recorded history, including those involving Andrew Lang, Johann Sebastian Bach, John Adams, Frederic François Chopin, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and Indira Gandhi.

She also writes about the history of her research and her personal encounters with death and the dying. Her efforts to understand, chronicle, and explain the phenomena have often been helped by men and women in the military. “. . . I’ve read numerous accounts of wives, children, and parents receiving visitations from the spirit of their departing husband, father, son, brother, or friend in the military away at war. As with most visitations, these departing souls come to announce their passing and say goodbye or let dear ones know they are loved. Men overseas serving in the military have also encountered departing visions. These spiritual announcements were almost always related to a passing occurring at home . . . .” The author gives readers many thrillingly recounted examples.

After reading Heavenly Hugs: Comfort, Support, and Hope From the Afterlife, you will feel certain that the collected accounts from thousands of years of various departing visions confirm that our inner lights will never be extinguished. The Bible weighs in on this idea in 1 Corinthians 13:12: “For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” Perhaps the main purpose of life on Earth is merely to prepare for the main event, which is the shining saga that spans immeasurable eons in a land where love is never-ending. Carla Wills-Brandon has compiled ample evidence to provide anyone with comfort, support, and hope from the afterlife that deathbed visitations and other dimensions of existence are as real as the hand in front of our faces.
