Heidi Connolly was told by her dead husband that we humans are “vacationing angels”, angels who chose to have a vacation from not feeling, sensing etc. where you need a body for.  He dictated her a book and gave her many advices, as for instance to not try too hard in the situation of grief and wanting to stay connected. She now coaches others in exploring their authentic self and energetic signature.
