SHARON PRENTICE ## Introduction Dr. Sharon Prentice is a transformational, spiritually focused psychotherapist whose chapter centers on her own Shared Death Experience (SDE) and her memoir, "Becoming Starlight." The piece blends her clinical approach with a deeply personal account of grief and faith. PHD ##### “Shared Death Experience as a Psychotherapist” I firmly believe that you cannot be a happy, fully functioning, suc- cessful person unless and until you are healthy in all aspects of your being-physical, emotional and spiritual-all three in balance and fully "awake" to the possibilities of your life. Fully realizing the power that exists in your very soul to heal and transform your life can lead you to a place of renewed health, reju- venation, and peace. Finding your Soul Songs brings you home to the "you" that was meant to be. I'm a transformational and spiritually focused psychotherapist whose emphasis is on helping you discover what’s ailing ya-mind, body, and soul to help you find a more empowered and vibrant way of living. Inspired by my experiential knowledge of a Shared Death Experience resulted in my own intuitive reintegration of Body and Soul, I created an Intuitive, collaborative, multi-modality Transformational practice. This is where I cross over between a Spiritually Intuitive Life Coach, an advanced Temperament Profiler or empathic truth telling therapist you need me to be. My Shared Death Experience led to the realization that an integration of psychology, spirituality, wisdom traditions and Divine essence was the path to healing for those exploring their purpose. Innately empathic and highly sensitive to others nonverbal traumas, I strive to bring my passion and gifts to my clients through a loving, accepting, more conscious embodiment of mind, body and Soul. Through Grace, you can be healed. Don’t think for one NY minute that this is easy. It’s the most difficult work you will ever do, and I am not your typical “I hear what you are saying” therapist! Oh no…quite the opposite. Oh, lest I forget-I’m also an author, a vegan (35 plus yrs), an animal rescuer, a water baby, a jean and t-shirt wearing forever fighter of cru- elty wherever I see it…AND I can whip up one heck of a vegan pizza! #### Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light *"Becoming Starlight: Surviving Grief and Mending* *the Wounds of Loss" was written as a love letter to my* *patients. When asked "Should I Be afraid?", this is my answer.* The Shared Death Experience (SDE). Most people know of or know someone who has experienced a Near Death Experience (NDE), but very few have heard of the SDE. The SDE is similar to the NDE except that it occurs not to the person who is dying, but to their loved one who is physically well. That person could be sitting right next to their loved one, or sitting across the room, or even across the globe unaware of the impending death of someone they love. Location or activity level is of no conse- quence to the SDE. That person, the loved one, is “invited along” to witness the after- math of physical death. The invitation extended has no RSVP--the per- son accompanying the dying individual can neither accept nor refuse- -they are just “taken” or “given” the experience by powers outside of their control. Becoming Starlight is one of those stories. It is a story filled with the type of pitfalls that accompany much of mankind on the journey through existence. Deeply embedded in Starlight is an ongoing war with death, faith, and hope- and with God--a war most of us have experienced or will experience in our lifetimes. Becoming Starlight is a story that has been written, in one way or another, since the beginning of time. The war between life and death- -who lives and who dies and why they die--is at the heart of this deeply personal experience. It’s a life-and-death struggle with spiritu- al darkness and loss of faith. It is a story not unlike the stories of anyone who has loved and lost, grieved and sorrowed, felt anguish and rage, fallen from Grace and questioned the very existence of God. The specifics are different, but the humanity splattered on the human soul and on every page is the same as that of any life lived fully. Some find redemption more easily than I. It took a complete fall from grace for me to be awakened from the trauma and darkness that had found its way into my life, and it took an unexpected encounter – an SDE -- to bring me into the arms of God, where I finally found the solace and understanding that I had yearned for. “Becoming Starlight” is the “Lifting of the Veil” that led to a peek into foreverness and to the compassion of a loving God.How do you de- scribe an ethereal form that consists of pure light? The “how” lies in the experience itself as given to you by God Himself- -His face, His thoughts, His Word engraved upon your heart--how do you give voice to that feeling?

This book is a Gift, and its Messenger well worth* *listening to!"* — Seth Gilliban, PhD, Pscyhology Today *"Dr. Prentice and her entire process-suck! I mean, there I sat while she* *literally smiled at me as she exposed all the lies I had been living! It’s* *a really crazy experience when you get it, when you actually see the* *stupidity of what you have believing about yourself. She forced me* *to “do the work” that I didn’t want to do. This tiny little woman was* *absolutely fearless when I, a good 5 times bigger than her-revolted. But* *she didn’t give an inch. Then she kicked me out. She kicked me out to* *live the life I had discovered. She said, “it was time for me to see that* *I didn’t need her anymore.” So, out I went to live in the real world. Did* *I need her? I did. Until I started living the life I was meant to live. Best* *thing that ever happened to me."* — Joe R. *“We, as a family, are in complete agreement. God created Dr. Prentice* *specifically for our family. She walked with us, she carried us through* *the deaths of our two children. Her compassion, her constancy and her* *unique understanding of life and death issues brought us peace at a* *time where there was none to be found. She is our Beloved friend and* *has become an integral part of our family. God most certainly created* *her for this work. She is our forever gift from the Heavens. Without her,* *well, life would look entirely different”* — Patti R. *“Dr. Prentice literally saved my life. Without her, my life would have* *come apart at the seams. She picked me up even though she didn’t* *know me. I still marvel at the way she just moved in and picked me up* *when others didn’t seem to care. I had never been treated with such* *kindness and understanding before and I didn’t know how to respond* *to her. She didn’t care about any of that. She simply cared about me.* *And she taught me about the ridiculousness of judging myself so harsh-* *ly. I can never forget those lessons. She didn’t just help me then leave* *me helpless again. What she did was teach me how to help myself. And* *all with no judgement at all! She spent many hours with me just talking* *and listening and she has more compassion in her little finger than* *most people have in their entire bodies. I had given up on myself and* *given up on life. She breathed life back into me when no one else even* *gave me a second glance. I now believe in angels and they have blonde* *hair and huge green eyes and a smile that goes on forever.”* — Ernie W. ### DID YOU KNOW Remember who you are and where you come from! Sometimes, often- times, in the midst of life and Soul shattering grief we forget who we are. I’ve been in that dark place where light dare not enter. Full of rage and pain. Unacknowledged grief. Alone, empty, abandoned, or so I thought. One thing I now know for certain, there is nothing in the universe that can separate you from the love of God. Not even your raging at the Heavens. Shaking your fist at God! Creation will instead, hold you even tighter. It’s not easy incorporating all that pain and grief and loss into your Soul- but it can be done. I know, I hear ya...” wtf does she know?” I know. Death took my child and my husband. I know. I’ve stood where you stand. How did I find my way again? I learned how to surrender. With surrender- came the remembering of who I was and who I belonged to... I am a child of the Most High... loved beyond measure... never separat- ed... never alone. I just forgot that.. Have you forgotten that? Is a remembering in order? Maybe a surrendering is waiting for you. This is my story...to forgive life...to find peace once more. Suffering opens your heart to the realities of life’s wilderness-it’s like the thunder that remakes you, leaving massive scars-yet also creates the strongest, most gentle Souls. To Forgive life really means to see it for what it is. Do you see it? The re- ality of life’s complexity’s, joys and sorrows? Not yet? Just wait- you will. Sorry- but you will. I wasn’t ready and fell to my knees. But, as Elizabeth Kubler Ross says “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known strug- gle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.” ### NEXT STEP Schedule a Complimentary Discovery Call. ##### Dr. Sharon Prentice Transformational Psychotherapist SharonPrentice.com drsharonprentice@gmail.com Instagram.com/sharonprenticephd Facebook.com/SEPrentice/ ## Summary - PhD psychotherapist combining psychology, spirituality, and intuitive/temperament profiling in her practice. - A personal Shared Death Experience shaped both her practice and her memoir, "Becoming Starlight: A Shared Death Journey from Darkness to Light." - Writes candidly about surviving the deaths of a child and a husband. - Offers a free "Self-Revolution" ebook. - Contact: SharonPrentice.com. ## Clerk Received.
