How To Talk About Death & Dying: End of Life Conversations
In a podcast all about the many faces and forms of death, it was time to talk to someone who helps people face the end of life - theirs and their loved ones.
It was truly a fascinating and enlightening conversation - to explore the end of life and how we think about it, how we treat it in society, and how we can do better to support people who are dying, and those people who support the dying or those who are wanting to face their own mortality with more wisdom, grace, and connection.
So many great perspectives drawing on research, academic views, and a progressive social commentary on how to live best with death.
