Post-death experiences and the emotion of hope

This paper briefly defines the emotion of hope and considers its role in anomalous post-death experiences. From what research is available, some findings suggest that hope may be present in the aftermath of after-death communication (ADCs), along with many other positive outcomes. All of which may affect percipients psychologically and physiologically, when having been suffering with grief and bereavement. Some links between post-death experiences and hope are presented which the author intends to investigate further.
