Author Inspired by Raymond Moody
For some, this book will give clarification for the meaning of death -- for those with an open mind. William J. Peters starts as though you're sitting in a comfortable chair and the therapist asks: "What brings you here?" Well, it's a complex topic about death and dying. There has been a number of books recently published about near-death experiences but this one takes a different approach. It is from the point of view with a person that is having a profound experience with someone that is dying - someone they know well. It could be a visualization, an out-of-body experience or a sense of knowing that someone has just died. This book presents several back-to-back eye-opening cases in various forms. I found the most interesting story was from the author with his personal experience with his father's passing. Earlier in his career, he was inspired by Raymond Moody, known for his books on the afterlife and near-death experiences. Peters has followed his research and developments with a group he has created: "Shared Crossing Project" which he now directs. It focuses on the end-of-life process with the person that has experienced an extraordinary moment with someone dying. With his team, he has generated piles of research and cases included his own. This is not a book for everyone. Many will dismiss it with their religious views. And, no one knows for sure what happens to someone that dies. Yet, the people that have experiences feel like they know some gigantic secret which feels real. Most people believe in some form of the afterlife and most have a difficult time addressing what it means. I found the stories easy to read and interesting which makes me want to learn more about the research process. It took me awhile to read as I kept pausing to rehash my own experiences. The book will be one of the few resources available for those that have questions about the complexities of death. Peters also provides the reader with the website for "Shared Crossing Project." It includes an expanded version of his bio.

Hope I Will Meet Them Again
Shared death experience is not always talked abut in books but it exists.. It occurs when another person who is with the dying or is close emotionally experiences what the dying person does as they pass from this world. The stories in this book are well written and the subject matter so interesting that it is hard for me to believe I havent really read of it before. Mr Peters book gives many anecdotal stories of the experiences they ahd while their loved one went into the light . SOme saw the same relatives the dying saw and others had stories that are too amazing to be summarized. They ahve to be read, This book is for anyone who is curious about what happens after we pass from this world.

Eye-opening!
Shared crossings are not something I had ever heard of before so this was very new, exciting information to me. The numerous stories in this book are amazing and very comforting. The first third of the book contains some very difficult (heartwrenching) ones so please be prepared. If you are open and ready to hear about ‘shared death experiences’ this is truly a wonderful, eye-opening book.
