Shared Death Experiences (SDEs) represent a unique aspect of Shared Crossing where individuals recount participating in the journey of the dying toward a benevolent afterlife. SDEs commonly take place close to the moment of passing, although they may occur moments, hours, days, or even weeks before or after the actual death.
Ā
Regardless of whether your encounter was joyful or challenging, transformative or intriguing; whether you felt misunderstood, shamed, or embraced; whether you found support or are still seeking validation; whether you are currently navigating the experience or have assimilated it into your daily life; whether it occurred recently or many years ago; and whether you've shared your story previously or not, you are invited to join a compassionate and empathetic community of individuals who have undergone similar experiences.
Ā
Or you may have never experienced a Shared Crossing or SDE, but are curious to understand more about the phenomenon and to hear the accounts of others to glean more insight, both from personal accounts and research-based perspectives.
Ā
This Sharing Group aims to offer a safe, neutral, and judgment-free zone, where individuals can freely express themselves in a loving, understanding, and accepting environment, while offering support and space-holding to others.Ā
Ā
The SDE Sharing Group is moderated and facilitated by the Shared Crossing Research Team.Ā Please see below for more details about your facilitators.Ā
