A groundbreaking, authoritative 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 in 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 the 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 after-effects, were
impossible to ignore. Long whispered about in the hospice and
medical communities, these extraordinary moments of final passage
are openly discussed and explained in At Heaven’s Door. The book
is filled with powerful tales of spouses on departing this earth
after decades together and bereaved parents who share their
children’s entry into the afterlife. Applying rigorous research,
Peters digs into the effect 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 sting of death and
better prepare us for our own final moments? How can we have both a
better life and a better death?
