Waking Experiences of the Deceased: From Bereavement to End of Life
Session resources
Part of our Grief & Bereavement Literacy ECHO Series
This session explores the moments when individuals report waking experiences of the deceased, which can include seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling the touch of the deceased. Normalizing these experiences can help reduce distress in all those who experience them in bereavement and at the end of life.
