'Shared Death Experience' Study

'Glimpses of Eternity' by Dr. Raymond Moody came out in October of 2010 and represents one of the first books to discuss the phenomena of ‘Shared Death Experiences’.   It is a fantastic compilation of stories of bystanders who witnessed death bed visions of the afterlife along with the dying person.    It is Raymond Moody’s belief that by studying these experiences, we will finally be able to prove life after death. 

We here at SharedDeathStudy.org share Dr. Moody’s belief and it is the reason why we created the ‘Shared Death Study’.  We are the only site dedicated to the collection and scientific analysis of ‘shared death experiences’.

Readers of ‘Glimpses of Eternity’ will learn about deathbed moments where several family members see the room change shape, or mist rising from the body as the loved one passes on.  Some experience themselves popping out of the body.  Others explain how they viewed a life review of their life and the deceased, in a 3D panorama.   The stories are compelling because they seem to point to answers to our deepest question about ourselves: what happens after we die?

It is our belief that ‘Glimpses of Eternity’ will help to broaden the discussion on NDEs by realizing that healthy living people are having the same experiences as those who have these NDEs, and those who actually pass away, as they describe what is happening to them. 

The accounts in this book point to the idea that ‘near death experiences’ are not attributable to the dying brain hypothesis or any other materialistic explanation for the phenomenon, since healthy people who aren’t dying share the same experiences.

‘Shared Death Study’  is the global shared death experience research study and story repository.  Shared death experiences (SDEs), are common death-bed visions and near-death experiences that family, friends and caregivers witness along with a person who is dying, as they pass, ‘temporarily’ or ‘permanently’  from this life to the next. 

Some commonly reported 'shared death experiences' typically include one or more of the following:

  • Room shape changes
  • Bystander(s) views mist rising from dying person’s body
  • Dying person telepathically communicates with bystander(s)
  • Bystander(s) leaves their body
  • Bystander(s) engulfed by intensely bright light that feels like absolute love.
  • Life review about dying person, the bystander(s) or both.
  • Bystander(s) accompanies the dying person through a tunnel to ‘heaven’.
  • Bystander(s) view or are otherwise aware of deceased relatives and friends in the room of dying person.

 Dr. Raymond Moody, who the New York Times calls “the father of near-death studies”, claims that:

“It is the study of these experiences that may finally prove life after death.”


It is the aim of SharedDeathStudy.org to collect as many shared death experience stories from all over the world, in as many languages as possible.  When participants add their stories, they are asked a specially designed list of questions that will help us to cross compare accounts so that we can deepen our understanding of this amazing phenomena that seems to be revealing what happens after we die.  Among other things, this study will look at shared death accounts and corroboration with other eyewitnesses and with the individual having the NDE or passing away.
