One of the best-kept secrets amongst hospice workers is the extraordinary end-of-life experiences (ELEs) that they observe or hear about while caring for the dying and their loved ones. The shared death experience (SDE) is the crown jewel of this phenomenon. This presentation introduces the SDE, which is a particular type of ELE in which caregivers and loved ones of dying persons report feeling as if they have participated in a dying person’s transition to a benevolent afterlife.
