Our deceased loved ones stay with us in many ways—photos, belongings, stories. But sometimes it seems as though they’ve come to visit us more tangibly. This is what many people refer to as “after death communication,” or ADC. Some view ADCs as a spiritual occurrence in which your late friends or family send messages or visit from the next life. We’ll fill you in on some of the most common ADC signs and symbols, as well as the 9 categories of ADCs. Then, we’ll help you navigate your experiences and honor the memory of those who’ve passed from this life.
Things You Should Know
- Common after death communication symbols include finding dimes or other coins, spotting cardinals or butterflies, or erratic behavior in electronic devices.
- Most ADCs are seen as signs that your loved one has passed safely. Alternatively, they’re telling you take comfort in their passing.
- Some common types of ADCs include sensing a strong presence, visual or auditory sightings, and vivid dreams of your loved one.

Psychic, Astrologer, & EntertainerI think getting in touch with your natural intuition through activities like meditation, being in nature, exercising, and minimizing external distractions can help. Everyone has some level of intuition. It's just a matter of learning to trust it. Be patient with yourself as you practice tuning in. And focus on using any abilities you develop to help others, not harm them.
Tips
- Many believe that receiving what appears to be an ADC from someone who is still alive suggests that that person has recently passed without your knowledge, or that they may pass soon.[20]Thanks
Warnings
- After death communication is a spiritual or religious belief, and has little or no scientific evidence to support the phenomenon.Thanks
