A shared death experience happens when a loved one, caregiver or bystander senses, sees or feels part of another person's passing into the afterlife.
Why It Matters
Unlike a near-death experience, it is witnessed by the living. Those who have one often describe light, loved ones arriving and a deep peace, and they come away with less fear of death.
