his is a book about ordinary people—plumbers, artists and accoun- h The
tants, bakers and beauticians, teachers and lawyers—who have received
e
communication from loved ones who have died.

The After Death Chronicles begins with the story of Annie Mattingley’s
recently deceased daughter’s sudden appearances in the early morning f Af ter Death
t
hours of each day. This after death communication was so transforma-
e
tive that she felt compelled to share it with her friends and acquaintances.
r
To her surprise, she discovered that after death communication is much
more common than is normally assumed, and she began to connect with D
hundreds of other people who have had similar experiences. Chronic les
e
Included here are the stories of over eighty people who have had a
contact with the dead. Organized around specific kinds of after death t
h
communications (including dreams, verbatim conversations, synchron-
icity through nature, and various other physical manifestations), these
C
stories are inspirational and transformative, and offer readers both hope
and healing.

“The time is ripe for people to recognize the blessing of how frequently
o
our dead beloveds return . . . to confirm the reality that consciousness
n
continues . . . to remind us that there is much more to death than the
i
physical cessation of breath and pulse. It is time to break the silence,
c
time to stop keeping these powerful healing experiences to ourselves. It
l
is time to allow the experiences themselves and the positive effect they e True Stories of Comfort, Guidance,
have on the living.”—Annie Mattingley s
and Wisdom from Beyond the Veil

Praise for The After Death Chronicles
“In this luminous collection of stories, Annie Mattingly weaves a
net of solace and insight for those of us left behind by beloveds
who have died. This book blesses those moments of sweet syn-
chronicity when the natural world becomes a portal to the place
where our loved ones have gone and through which they remain
ever available to us. The After Death Chronicles reminds us that
our task is simply to be present for these encounters and allow
ourselves to harvest countless gifts from beyond the veil.”
—Mirabai Starr, translator of
Dark Night of the Soul: St. John of the Cross, author of
Caravan of No Despair: A Memoir of Loss and Transformation
“You don’t read this book, you savor it: every morsel of it, every
tear, every laugh, every pulse-pounding story from people so real
you feel yourself akin to them. And you fall in love with Annie,
snuggle right up to her and share your uttermost feelings and
fears. The After Death Chronicles is not like any other afterdeath/
afterlife book, nor is it really about mediums or contact with the
dead. It’s about real folk, Annie’s people, who show you what life
is and how life is lived—with or without the need to breathe.
—P. M. H. Atwater, LHD, near-death researcher
and experiencer, author of A Manual for Developing Humans,
Future Memory, Near-Death Experiences: The Rest of the Story, and
Dying to Know You: Proof of God in the Near-Death Experience
“The After Death Chronicles is must-reading for anyone who has
lost a loved one. And quite frankly, that’s nearly all of us. The
information in this book provides solace and a great deal of hope.
It’s medicine for the soul.”
