 Becoming Starlight by Sharon Prentice 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.

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. |
