Life after death books?

[Sprinky]

Hello
My best friend's Dad recently and suddenly passed away. She is finding it difficult to cope with things. She was very close to him and is finding some comfort in the idea of visiting a spiritulist or medium. I am looking at buying her a couple of books on the subject of life after death and that kind of thing. Can anyone recommend any books that I could get for her?
Thanks

Try "in the arms of angels" by Joan Wester Anderson. It is a truly amazing thought provoking read,full of beautiful heartwarming stories.

The Bible has one or two things to say about life after death.

For heaven's sake don't let her near spiritualists or mediums. They will only con her with a load of tricks. It is cruel that bereaved people should be fed such nonsense.

I think it may be too soon really for her to consider this, she will be in a raw, vulnerable state.

Although time does heal, losing someone close is never something that you completely get over, you just learn to accept and deal with it in every day life. For the time being, I would avoid trying to offer her the thoughts and ideas of a published author, and just let her deal with and take comfort from her own ideology of where her dad may be now. That goes for spiritualists also. If she really is intent on going to one for her own piece of mind, just let her but encourage her to wait a while.

Feeding her vulnerability may do more harm than good.
