Our guest today is the incredible Louise Hamlin, who bravely navigated her way through deep personal grief to discover a powerful and unexpected connection with the afterlife. A long-time academic in the field of law at Cambridge University, Louise was initially skeptical of any notion of life after death. However, in the wake of her husband's passing, she experienced unusual signs and messages that opened her heart and mind to a possible reality beyond our physical existence. Her compelling journey is beautifully penned in her absorbing book 'WhatsApps from Heaven.'
Louise Hamlin, a former lawyer, found her skeptical beliefs about life after death challenged after the loss of her beloved husband, Patrick. Their shared skepticism was set in stone, comforted by the notion that death was merely an end to consciousness. Yet, in her grief, Louise found herself searching for signs. Her first sign, a peculiar WhatsApp message from a friend, only stirred her skepticism further. However, when a strong urge guided another friend to consider buying her snowdrops right after she had requested Patrick for them, her skepticism started to waver. Other instances followed, such as a feather on a train seat and random WhatsApp messages opening up on her phone. But it was the creation of two WhatsApp groups named after Patrick and her family that eliminated all doubt. Louise's world had turned upside down. What once was skeptical disbelief had transformed into an unshakable knowing - the spirit survives death.

ABOUT OUR GUEST:
A former lecturer in law at Cambridge University, Louise was suddenly bereaved four years ago. She didn't really believe in life after death and so when she started receiving extraordinary signs and messages she was very resistant, but eventually realised that they were from her beloved husband. It was all so mind-blowing that she decided to write an account of what happened, and also to write about her personal experience of grief and bereavement. Her book is “WhatsApps from Heaven”.
