If you wonder what happens to your loved one after they die, you are in good company. Wanting to know they are OK, that they are not suffering, that they may even be happy, is a universal feeling rooted in the love that is the root of our grief. In her book Becoming Starlight, Surviving Grief and Mending The Wounds of Loss, Dr. Sharon Prentice shines a light on where your loved one goes after they die. She has visited the other side - not through a near death experience - but a shared death experience. In this episode of the Mindfulness & Grief Podcast, Dr. Prentice reveals her “peek into foreverness” that occurred at the precise moment of her husband's death. She describes how this experienced impacted her grief over time, and how it informs her work with people who are dying in her role as a psychotherapist and spiritual counselor. The question of life after death is one of the first questions I asked when my uncle died by suicide when I was just 7 years old. In my teens I found a book called Life After Life by Dr. Raymond Moody, which detailed the phenomenon of the near-death experience. This is a very special interview. It dives into the mysteries of life while leaving space for us to still grief, still mourn, still question. If you are wanting to know if your loved one is OK, this podcast may just provide you with some answers – and even hope.

Soon after completing her graduate studies in psychology, Dr. Sharon Prentice found the world of secular psychology lacking-her patients needed “something more”. So, she set out to investigate and explore alternative methods in the field of mental health that would incorporate that “something special” she believed existed in each and every individual soul. Her journey would take her through the great religions of the world as well as to a discovery of ancient, time-proven alternatives to modern therapeutic models of counseling. She is the author of the bestselling book “Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light” which attempts to answer the question “Is this all there is?” She now primarily works with terminally ill patients and their families to help them transition with more love, truth, and surrender. Beth Clayton Beth Clayton (your host) is a soul-based life and health coach and loves to help open-hearted people break free from their own self-sabotage, outdated thought patterns, and past pain so they can deepen their relationship with their own soul’s intuition, speak their truth courageously and fulfill their most authentic desires. She is the creator of multiple group programs, retreats, and transformational workshops, leading hundreds of truth-seekers toward finding freedom and ease in their relationship with food, their bodies, their lives and ultimately, themselves. In this episode we dive into: ● Sharon’s journey from the death of her infant daughter and rejection of life and God to helping terminally ill patients die with and their families grieve with love, grace, and surrender. ● How Sharon’s shared death experience (SDE) at the moment of her husband’s passing changed her entire perspective of death and life. ● The beauty, magic, and healing that can happen in the room where someone is taking their last breath. ● Why Sharon encourages everyone to perceive the deathbed differently and enter into a place of joy, music, and laughter. ● Why it is important to say what you need to say, even if it is difficult for the person who is dying to hear. ● The love and non-judgment that Sharon has experienced on the other side, and why she shares that knowledge as much as she possibly can. ● How writing “Becoming Starlight” became part of her own healing and part of how she serves the love she has for her late daughter and husband.

My guest this week is Dr. Raymond Moody, who brought the phenomenon of near-death experiences (NDEs) into the mainstream with his landmark 1975 book, Life After Life. In this episode we explored how the field of NDE studies has evolved in the past four decades, and discussed some of his latest thoughts about the boundary between this world and whatever is beyond. It was a fascinating conversation about the biggest questions facing each of us. Topics we touched on included: What has changed in the NDE world since Life After Life was published 44 years ago The phenomenon of a shared death experience (see this discussion with Sharon Prentice about her own SDE) The difficulty in explaining away NDEs as simple biological mechanisms within the body and brain The study of unintelligibility and a typology of nonsense Research on how common NDEs are (and why it matters how you ask participants about them) The impossibility of speaking sensibly about dimensions beyond our three spatial dimensions The popularity of nonsense in songs and books, as well as in religious experience The difficulty in putting some dreams into meaningful words The life review that is often part of an NDE Life as an opportunity to learn to love Encountering a Being of complete compassion and love, experienced as a light Finding all-encompassing love and compassion in this life Implications of NDEs for how we live this life How an NDE is more like waking up than having a dream Raymond's introduction to NDEs by George Ritchie's description of his own NDE How the study of NDEs shaped Raymond's life The lack of a clear, sharp boundary between this world and the next Memory as the central element of human identity Death as “stepping out of character” and leaving behind the role we’ve played Here are links to some of Raymond's book (affiliate links): Life After Life Glimpses of Eternity: Sharing a Loved One's Passage from This Life to the Next Life After Loss: Conquering Grief and Finding Hope Making Sense of Nonsense: The Logical Bridge Between Science and Religion (Jan. 2020) Raymond Moody, Jr., MD, PhD, completed his bachelor's degree with honors in philosophy from the University of Virginia and went on to earn a PhD in philosophy from UVA as well as an MD from the Medical College of Georgia. He is a bestselling author of twelve books, which have sold millions of copies worldwide.

Raymond received the World Humanitarian Award in Denmark and was honored with a bronze medal in the Human Relations category at the New York Film Festival for the movie version of Life After Life. He offers a variety of lecture/workshop presentations on the topics of near-death experiences, death with dignity, life after loss, surviving grief and finding hope, visionary encounters with departed loved ones, the healing power of humor, the loss of children, language and consciousness, and catastrophic tragedy causing collective grief. Raymond trains hospice workers, clergy, psychologists, nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals on matters of grief recovery and dying. He is a featured expert in the media and has appeared on hundreds of local and nationally syndicated programs such as MSNBC’s Grief Recovery, NBC Today, ABC’s Turning Point, Oprah, and other popular talk shows on television and radio.

You're probably familiar with "near death experiences," in which people seem to visit the afterlife and then return to life.

Other topics we touched on from her book Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light included: The author’s deep sorrow following multiple losses How life can beckon us back when we think we’re “done” Sharon's husband’s illness and gradual decline What a shared death experience (SDE) is Dreams of death The difficulty in putting an SDE into words The merger between life and death during an SDE Her mental and emotional state leading up to the SDE What happened during her SDE The effects of Sharon’s SDE on her subsequent emotions and beliefs How the SDE changed her relationship with and view of God What it means to be a “thought of God” The illusion of separateness from God How her SDE took away the fear of death The question of divine judgment after death Hell as the separation we create from God Here's the link to Sharon's book: Becoming Starlight.

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?

Soon after completing her graduate studies in psychology, today's special guest, Dr. Sharon Prentice, longed to discover “the why's” about her own intimate experience with death in the form of an SDE (Shared Death Experience), and that of others who had experienced something “weird, unbelievable, odd” at the time of the death of a loved one. Her book, Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light is an emotionally powerful and spiritually gripping story of what lies “beyond” this life. The little known Shared Death Experience—a profound transcendent consciousness—afforded the author a peek into forever-ness, a lifting of the veil between this life and the next. Becoming Starlight is the true story of one woman's tumultuous relationship with God during the soul-wrenching deaths of her daughter and husband, and her eventual redemption as her soul slipped over to another framework of existence—a realm of pure love and light—by means of a Shared Death Experience (SDE) at the moment of her husband's death. Deeply embedded in Becoming Starlight is a life-and-death struggle with Spiritual darkness and loss of faith. It's a story brimming with the stuff of life—tremendous love, agonizing loss, quiet rage, inconsolable sorrow, and a complete fall from Grace. At the heart of it is a war between who lives and dies, a battle that brings us face to face with our own mortality. Dr. Prentice is a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor. She is also a Board Certified Spiritual Counselor (SC-C) and holds Board Certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Group Therapy, Integrated Marriage and Family Therapy, and Crisis and Abuse Therapy.
Soon after completing her graduate studies in psychology, Dr. Prentice found the world of secular psychology lacking—her patients needed "something more". So, she set out to investigate and explore alternative methods in the field of mental health that would incorporate that "something special" she believed existed in each and every individual soul. Her journey would take her through the great religions of the world as well as to the discovery of ancient, time-proven alternatives to modern therapeutic models of counseling. Her patients have termed her practice as “Crazy hot mess therapy” which opens up and wakes up-the Spirit! She does, however, devote extra attention to those seeking solace and understanding after the death of a loved one as she fully acknowledges the experiences that sometimes accompany that death.
