Richly illustrated with the words of childhood and teen experiencers, Dr. Cherie Sutherland gives a moving and powerful talk about the nature, content and aftereffects of young people's NDEs.  Providing evidence that age, circumstance, or brain development have no effect on the content or complexity of the near-death experience in children and teens, she offers a rich tapestry of the unique challenges that children and teen experiencers face, growing up transformed and often at odds with their parents' and traditional religions' beliefs about God and death.  Dr. Sutherland concludes with suggestions for how medical personnel and family members can help the young person, and also evidence that these experiences are therapeutic for bereaved parents.
