Shared Crossing Testimonial Guide for Healthcare Providers

Thank you for your thoughtfulness and effort in sharing your shared crossing experience with us!  This guide is meant to help us better understand the shared crossing experiences of healthcare professionals who are likely in regular or routine contact with dying patients. Our aim here is to raise awareness about shared crossings within healthcare settings.

 

We invite you to write as much as you’d like in each section and to add other information as you wish.  If you have had more than one shared crossing experience, we invite you to write complete separate accounts for each.
