ABOUT JEFF AND SPENCER
Father and son (Jeffery Olsen & Spencer Olsen) share their two drastically different experiences of an auto accident that took the lives of half their family. Jeffery (the Father) having profound Near-Death Experiences, Out-of-Body Experiences and After-Death Communications, while Spencer (the Son, only 7 years of age at the time of the accident) had no NDE nor mystical experience at all and was left to navigate grief, loss and trauma as an innocent child. Now, the two come together to share where their paths have taken them and why. And how they are bonded beyond the experience through a unifying knowledge of love.

What is an NDE?
A near-death experience (NDE) is typically a profound, life changing, intensely emotional experience that usually occurs during a clinical crisis and has common characteristics and aftereffects. It is not a dream, hallucination, or mental illness (Greyson, 1983). There are no predictive variables to identify who will have an NDE. They happen to people of all ages, religions, socio-economic groups, cultures, educational backgrounds, and belief systems. They occur under a variety of circumstances such as accidents, near-drownings, illnesses, combat, surgical procedures, and childbirth. Following an NDE, experiencers (NDErs) often display some common aftereffects. Research has established a set of common NDE characteristics and long-term aftereffects. Theories used to explain near-death experiences in purely physical terms have been proven inadequate by NDE researchers and others.
