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.
