A "brilliant and fascinating" (Eben Alexander, MD, author of Proof
of Heaven) exploration-rich with powerful personal stories and
convincing research-of the many ways the living can and do
accompany the dying on their journey into the afterlife. In 2000,
end-of-life therapist William Peters was volunteering at the Zen
Hospice Project in San Francisco when he had an extraordinary
experience as he was reading aloud to a patient: he suddenly felt
himself floating midair, completely out of his body. The patient,
who was also aloft, looked at him and smiled. The next moment,
Peters felt himself return to his body...but his patient never
regained consciousness and died. Perplexed and stunned by what had
happened, Peters began searching for other people who'd shared
similar experiences. He would spend the next twenty years gathering
and meticulously categorizing their stories to identify key
patterns and features of what is now known as the "shared crossing"
experience. The similarities, which cut across continents and
cultures and include awe-inspiring visual and sensory effects, and
powerful emotional aftershocks. The book is filled with "moving and
tender" (Jack Kornfield, PhD, author of A Path with Heart) tales of
spouses seeing their loved ones reach the other side after decades
together and bereaved parents who share their children's entry into
the afterlife. Applying rigorous research, Peters digs into the
effects of these shared crossing experiences impart-liberation at
the sight of a loved one finding joy, a sense of reconciliation if
the relationship was fraught-and explores questions like: What can
explain these shared death experiences? How can we increase our
likelihood of having one? What do these experiences tell us about
what lies beyond? And, most importantly, how can they help take
away the string of death and better prepare us for our own final
moments? How can we have both a better life and a better death?
