Instrumental transcommunication as religious experience assisting in grief

Abstract

This work considers, through a narrative review of the literature, whether the possible electronic means of interaction between the living and the dead, Instrumental Transcommunication, based on the Spiritist Doctrine, helps in the (re)construction of the interpretation of mourning for parental losses, mitigating the emotional damage. In Brazil, currently, although there is a global historical framework, this practice, although veiled, aims to obtain information from beyond the grave, with the aim of seeking answers to the classic questions of humanity that concern where we are going and how we are after death. It is understood that, when the bereaved receiver recognizes the deceased sender in the record of the manifestation, embracing the intervention as truth, it transcends reason and emotion, previously in disarray, characterizing a possible form of religious experience.
