I agree with that theory. I don't get the impression that the crossings are meant to leave us as hollow husks. We know memories are needed to cross. With the Ferryman it's a choice but if you're injured while crossing alone then the damage to your soul is unpredictable. I suspect that losing too much of themselves is what made it impossible for the wraiths to cross like us, since they no longer have enough memories to pay the toll.
