Death Doula's Shared Death Experiences (SDEs) (Near Death Experiences)
What Researchers Found
The Story
The person, whose name is not given, had a near-death experience due to cardiac arrest. Their heart stopped, and medical staff pronounced them dead for about 45 minutes. They cut the person's clothes and used paddles to restart the heart. During the experience, the person left their body. They saw people screaming and crying but did not know it was their own body. They felt only absolute love and peace. Nothing else could be felt. They were greeted by people they had known in the past. The person felt back home again, incredibly safe, and at home. After the NDE, the person returned to life. They now share their story, which suggests a lasting sense of peace and connection to the afterlife.
“father whom I never met never met him in my life and a great uncle who I met”
The transcript describes shared death experiences with some corroborated remote perceptions, such as a child's vision exactly matching a family member's actions and words at the moment of death, confirmed via phone call. However, the primary perceiver (death doula) was fully conscious with normal brain function, most claims involve spiritual visions without physical veridical details, and only a minority of multiple anecdotes have specific verification.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
