People must feel very strongly about their experience, to make the effort to write. Yes, their experiences were very vivid and thought-provoking. One woman wrote to say that when her husband died the undertakers came and dealt with his body while she waited in the garden. When she came back to the bedroom to make the bed she noticed an intense smell of flowers. She thought it must be an air-freshener the men had used, but when she read an article about my work she realized it must have been an 'experience' and it gave her great reassurance.
Some people see the traditional eight-foot angel.
I heard from one man who was walking his dog on the canal towpath. He felt an eerie atmosphere and sensed danger so he prayed, and immediately a six-foot angel appeared in front of him like his protector. Other people have seen fuzzy balls of light, smelt a strong scent or heard a voice. Some sceptics ask me why angels don't appear in the one form. To my mind, if your husband had just died you would not want an eight-foot angel suddenly appearing.
