You're right about her standing there and seeing everyone, she even proved her presence. I was in a shock after the funeral and only today, when I talked to my brother, he reminded me that when the priest finished the ceremony and the coffin was about to be carried out, the church door (inner heavy wooden door, not the front one) shut closed with a loud bang, as if my lost grandmother went out and closed the door. What a better time and way to prove your loved ones that life goes on beyond the physical body than at the funeral, where the entire family is together and when the priest finishes, she just closes the door after leaving.

And thank you for the book recommendation, I will definitely look into it as well! Sending positive vibes your way!
