Sharon Prentice is a psychotherapist, spiritual counselor, and author of the book Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness and Light. Her journey includes having lost her daughter, and her husband, and then having a shared death experience with him when he passed away. At the time, she experienced the presence of the divine, and was instilled with a sense that everything (including the passing of two people she loved so much) was just as it should be. I’m thrilled to have her on the podcast to talk about her shared death experience, and how that event shifted so many things in her life. Inspired by the Immense Love She Felt in a Shared Death Experience One of the things that Sharon shares in her book and on the show is that at the time of her husband’s passing, she was still incredibly angry and upset with God for the loss of her daughter several years prior. Stephanie was born, and passed away the same day, and Sharon fell into a “newfound love of darkness that I carried with me always. Not as an anchor but a new way of living in the world that I had come to know was cruel and unforgiving and God-less.” This event was spiritually book ended for her when she lost her husband. In the moment that he passed, Sharon felt herself being transported into what she calls Starlight. Surrounded by love, presence, and divinity beyond words, she sensed she was whole, accepted and loved beyond comprehension by a God that she had turned away from. “I felt more whole, more forgiven than I’d ever felt before. I now felt nothing except an all-encompassing love and compassion. My heart held no fear, no anger, no grief, no struggle. I was complete just as I was -- I lacked nothing. Deep down, I suppose I had always known this; I had just forgotten it for awhile.” (pg 123) In our interview, Sharon talks about his even more. What strikes me, and why I find this inspiring is that this love and compassion is something that the Divine holds for each of us. It’s not held for just a few. When I think about this radical acceptance, I wonder what would be possible for myself if I accepted the abundance, love, and compassion that is meant for me? In this episode Sharon Prentice and I talk about: -Her early childhood at Cape Cod, dancing and listening to music -The spiritual nature of the ocean and why it draws us both in -Sharon’s work with the terminally ill, and why she feels it’s her life’s work -The spiritual nature, and root of, all therapy work -Her Shared Death Experience, and how it felt like coming home -Jesus and my favorite passage in the Bible (Father, Father, Why have you forsaken me?” -Centering Prayer and meditation -Her husband Steve’s last breath, and how it provided an entrance into a Shared Death Experience for her -How to jumpstart your joy: wake up with a smile, tell the people in your life you love them, and focused prayer Resources Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light by Sharon Prentice on Amazon Sharon Prentice’s Website Sharon Prentice PhD’s Facebook page Other resources for Grief, Death, and Dying: Episode 168: Jonni Pollard on How to Awaken to The Truth of Who You Are Episode 127: Julia Samuel on Grief Works, and the Stories of Life, Death, and Surviving Episode 141: Debbie Augenthaler on Grief, Trauma, and Healing: You Are Not Alone

This week on the podcast, I’m delighted to speak to Debbie Augenthaler on grief, trauma, and healing. Debbie is a psychotherapist,  the author of You Are Not Alone: A Heartfelt Guide to Grief, Healing, and Hope, and she has a private practice in New York City. After losing her husband, she was unexpectedly faced with grief, and found that losing someone that close to you causes ripples of effects; and that the impact of grief does not neatly follow the stages that we’ve all read about. Grief strikes everyone differently, and grieving is not a linear process.   Yes, you go through waves and stages, but the day to day experience of profound loss was not something she found referenced in books. Debbie was grateful to find a therapist during her own time of grief, one who held space for her to grieve. Working in the financial field for many years, Debbie was in New York for September 11, 2001. She saw the impact of loss again, among her friends and coworkers. This time, however, she also saw that since she had already been through that kind of loss herself, she was able to “be there” for people as they faced loss in their own lives. In her words, “I wasn’t afraid of their grief. I wanted to help.” Debbie shares all about her book and her journey through grief, and to becoming a psychotherapist on this week’s show. She also talks about four ways to reconnect in the midst of grief: Discover a small bit of hope Meditate and look for reasons to be grateful Be kind to yourself and others. Smile at other people, look for connection Be in nature Debbie Augenthaler and talk about: Growing up the daughter of a marine and moving quite a bit as a child Her early joy of going to the library and finding joy and connection in books How and why she became a psychotherapist: her love of discovering what drives people and makes them tick How her husband died in her arms, and the impact of that unexpected loss Her experience of September 11, 2001 in New York City as part of the financial industry community The hero’s journey from victim to victor What to do if you’re faced with unexpected grief in your life How taking comfort in small things is good and affirming for you when you are in the grief process That it’s “OK to not be OK.” Debbie Augenthaler’s Website: http://www.debbieaugenthaler.com/ Debbie’s group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DebbieAugenthaler  Debbie Augenthaler’s Book: You Are Not Alone: A Heartfelt Guide to Grief, Healing, and Hope (on Amazon) https://amzn.to/2kRJKlB Nicholas Wolterstorff’s Book: Lament for A Son (on Amazon) https://amzn.to/2JAcA7O Julia Samuel’s Book: Grief Works (on Amazon) https://amzn.to/2Hs3pBf Julia Samuel on Jump Start Your Joy http://jumpstartyourjoy.com/2018/03/julia-samuel/

On an ordinary Monday morning, Debbie Augenthaler's husband, Jim, died suddenly in her arms. On that day, she not only lost her husband, best friend, and life partner, but her dream of having children him, their future plans, their home, and their circle of still-married friends. This week Debbie and I are talking about the layered losses that show up after a major loss occurs, the gifts that loss grants us that we can use to help others, and her new book, You Are Not Alone. Also on the show this week, I'm answering a listener email about being afraid to die the same way her father did—doing what he loved.
