Moderators John317 Posted December 22, 2012 Moderators Posted December 22, 2012 Grief Expert Says "We Don't Die" and Offers Free Aid to Mourners Sandra Champlain, author 'How to Survive Grief' courageously tells her story learning that life after death is real. Now author of 'We Don't Die - A Skeptic's Discovery of Life After Death,' she gives free information on grief and the first chapter of her book to help comfort others. Byfield, Massachusetts (PRWEB) December 22, 2012 Author Sandra Champlain has long held a secret and feels it is now the right time to share it with people. She said, “I have found the truth about life after death, but more importantly, I can help people heal from the pain caused by grief.” Sandra suffered a terrible fear of dying in 1996, one that set in motion a fifteen-year journey of discovery. She studied with doctors, scientists, a physicist, mediums, and a ‘spirit artist.’ She felt all of these people had credible evidence that our souls survive physical death. "I even took a course in mediumship," Champlain stated. "I somehow could accurately describe deceased people. Imagine my surprise when I would see a picture of someone’s loved one and it was the same person I just saw in my mind!" Fear kept her from sharing this important discovery with people. She resumed her dual career as owner of a small business in Connecticut and traveling as a chef with race car teams. "This may sound silly, but although I was no longer afraid of death, I was afraid of what people would think of me if they heard my story,” Sandra explained. “I used to make fun of people who believed in that stuff. How could I tell anyone that I believe in it now?” In 2010, everything changed. Sandra's father got diagnosed with cancer and five months later he died. She then shared, "I felt the most devastating pain when Dad died. I was scared, alone, angry, sad, guilty and my body was so sore from crying. My memory was awful, I couldn't concentrate, fights were at an all-time high with my siblings, although we had rarely fought before he became ill. I have never been one to contemplate suicide, but my life was so dark, I could see how some people experiencing that amount of pain would believe suicide to be a good option." Sandra, normally a happy, upbeat, positive person knew something was wrong. She began an investigation into the world of ‘grief.’ Sandra found that there are over a million suicides a year due to grief and depression, almost fifty percent of siblings stop talking after a parent dies, and over eighty percent of marriages end in divorce after a child dies. Armed with this important information, Sandra Champlain created a free, sixty-minute audio to help others, called it 'How to Survive Grief,' and posted it on http://www.survivegrief.com. “Grief is not taught to us in school and people don’t understand how the brain functions during the grieving process. When we love someone it is almost as if we are addicted to them, as neurotransmitters in our brains form bonds with them. When they die, that bond is broken and grief is similar to being in withdrawal from an addictive drug.” Sandra continued, “Within a year of sharing my grief audio, three thousand people in fifteen countries had heard it. The emails I received were amazing. Then, I received my first message from a man who chose not to commit suicide after listening to it. He wrote that when he listened to my audio, he knew that there was nothing wrong with him. He realized that the emotions and thoughts he was experiencing were normal symptoms of grief. When I found out doctors and suicide prevention agencies were recommending people to my website, I knew it was time to write a book,” said Champlain. “Information about grief is something every human being should know,” shared Sandra. “It dawned on me that a book about grief would probably not be a bestseller. However books about life after death often are.” Best-selling author, Bernie Siegel, M.D. wrote the foreword and Morgan James Publishing quickly supported Sandra with her mission, expressing that this book will help heal millions of lives. Just nine months after she signed the contract with them, and during the same week as the Newtown shooting, her book ‘We Don’t Die - A Skeptic’s Discovery of Life After Death’ became available at online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Sandra Champlain has sent many cases of her ‘How to Survive Grief’ CDs to the Newtown community hoping they will find their way into the right hands. She requests that anyone who feels the pain from this tragedy, or has had any other personal loss, please take advantage of the free audio download and read the first chapter of ‘We Don’t Die.’ She then confidently declared, “The audio and the pages from my book will make a profound difference in people’s lives, I can promise that.” #################### Sandra Champlain is the author of 'We Don't Die - A Skeptic's Discovery of Life After Death' and 'How to Survive Grief.'

"I even took a course in mediumship," Champlain stated. I'm surprised that there's no mention of her having studied the Bible to find out what it has to say about death and dying. It appears to me that she puts more confidence in the opinions of mediums and spiritists than she does in the Bible. I wonder if that's because the mediums and spiritists tell her what she wants to hear-- that we don't die-- whereas the Bible teaches what she may not feel as good about: that humans do indeed die and sleep in the grave until Christ returns.

Gibs Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 True death will happen after the second resurrection, those of the first awake to eternal life, those of the second to never be no more, we only sleep for a time after this body gives up we dwell in. 1Jo 4:4 ¶ Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

I agree, was just thinking about that the other day when they were talking about this garbage about the end of the world talk. All the commentators mention all sorts of material but just leave the Bible out. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

If I was researching a topic I would not include findings from material I thought was flawed either. I think if she really thought that, she would say so. Besides I believe that the reason many don't include the Bible, is because there finding more and more how accurate the prophecies have been and have come true. And as they continue to dig in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, etc., they are finding how accurate the Bible is. I think this scares many.

M. T. Cross Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 I would never argue the historical relevance of the Bible. It is based on the history of an entire race of people and their experiences. To that end though as they dig through Northern Europe they find evidence that the Norse sagas have accuracy to them, That the tales and legends of the Celtic people have some accuracy to them etc. The thing is that all of these stories have a spiritual twist to them. Your Bible is just like that. So that to me makes it no more of a spiritual authority than any of the others. No less for that matter either. Quote
