In this episode I'm talking to William Peters about the Shared Crossing Project

The Shared Crossing Project’s mission is to positively transform relationships to death and dying through education and raising awareness about shared crossings and their healing benefits. We aim to bring people together in community to support open exploration and discussion of this important topic in a safe place.

Bio

William is a licensed psychotherapist and is the Founder of the Shared Crossing Project. He has developed a series of leading-edge programs that introduce audiences to a broad assortment of experientially based curricula and practices. These programs focus on preparation for a conscious, connecting, and loving end-of-life experience, and they invite exploration of the topic of life after death.

Some of these workshops also impart a series of protocols intended to initiate shared death experiences and other beneficial shared crossing phenomena. William teaches clinical methods to guide end-of-life practitioners in assisting their clients in meaningful integration of their end-of-life experiences.

As the Director of the Shared Crossing Research Initiative (SCRI), William and his research team collect and study extraordinary end-of-life experiences (shared crossings). He is recognized by many as the world’s leading authority on the shared death experience (SDE) having developed research-based typologies that classify the full range of SDEs. He also created the Spectrum of End-of-Life Experiences, a user-friendly guide to assist the dying, caregivers and health care professionals in navigating and understanding phenomena that can manifest at end of life.

William conducts workshops and presents internationally. He recently presented at the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine Annual Conference. His innovative work has been featured on CNN Online among other media outlets. William’s book entitled At Heaven’s Door: What Shared Journeys to the Afterlife Teach About Dying Well and Living Better was published worldwide by Simon & Schuster in January 2022.

William continues his practice as a licensed psychotherapist at the Family Therapy Institute in Santa Barbara, specializing in end-of-life counseling as a means toward psycho-spiritual evolution. William has served as a Zen Hospice volunteer and his work is informed by his two near-death experiences and a variety of shared death experiences.

This week I am talking to Martha Jo Atkins PHD about her book 'Sign Posts of Dying'.

Sign Posts of Dying tells about the unique language and behaviors of the dying. Brief so as not to overwhelm yet thorough enough to get the information needed, each Signpost shines a light on often ignored or unrecognized aspects of the dying process. Is your beloved hearing people in the hallway? Are they talking about 'other rooms' or friendly visitors who aren't family members? This book can help you recognize the language of dying. Useful for caregivers, mental health pros, and hospice volunteers, Signposts will help you understand some of what you may experience as you walk with a person who is leaving this world. One reader says, "Very intimate and makes what is a difficult topic for lots of people very safe."

Bio

Martha has been with more than a thousand children and adults at end-of-life - in hospitals, homes, and in-patient hospices. Long-term work in grief and bereavement laid a strong professional foundation early, and personal losses provided hard-won empathy and their own kind of wisdom.

She is a doctoral level end-of-life licensed professional counselor and counselor supervisor (LPC-S), coach, consultant, speaker, and author. I love all dogs but most especially boxers. Dr. Pepper is my drink of choice. I worked with my first dying patient, a 3 y/o, when I was 22 years old. For thirty five years now, I’ve come alongside grieving and bereaved children and families + people at end-of-life and the ones who love them.

This week I am talking to Annie Mattingley about her book ‘The After Death Chronicles: True Stories of Comfort, Guidance, and Wisdom from Beyond the Veil’.

This is a book about ordinary people--plumbers, artists and accountants, bakers and beauticians, teachers and lawyers--who have been able to receive communication from loved ones who have died. Included here are accounts from over 80 people across the country who have had contact with the dead through the diaphanous veil that separates them from the living.

The book begins with the story of Annie's deceased daughter speaking to her in the early morning hours. The communication was so transformative that she began to share her experience. Much to her surprise, she discovered that after-death communication is much more common than is normally assumed, and she began to connect with other folks across the country who had similar experiences.

Each of the ten chapters is organized around a specific kind of after-death communication. Included here are chapters on dreams, verbatim conversations, and synchronicity through nature and various other physical manifestations, descriptions of the results of these occurrences, and advice on how to open up to after-death communication. This book inspires in the reader reassurance, courage, healing, and a sense of wonder.

From the author: "The time is ripe for people to recognize the blessing of how frequently our dead beloveds return . . . to confirm the reality that consciousness continues beyond the grave and to remind us that there is much more to death than the physical cessation of breath and pulse. It is time to break the silence, time to stop keeping these powerful healing experiences to ourselves. It is time to allow the experiences themselves, and the positive effect they have on the living."
