In all the ten or so years that I was in the end of life planning arena, and despite interviewing Dr Kathryn Mannix, I have never watched this.
It’s brilliant. Describes exactly what happened when my husband died. And she speaks of the process so well too. Thanks Dina. I appreciate you sharing this with us.
Thank you Jane. I find her way of describing her journey so humbling and inspiring. We all begin somewhere. And when we remember what was the source of our inspiration, we can always remain humble.
Thanks for this, Dina. I know my mother was frightened during her last hours, and perhaps it would have comforted her to know in advance about what was happening. I'm really not sure about it, but it is something to consider when family or friends are young or cogent enough to have a say in how much they want to know.
Thanks Sheri for sharing your story of loss. It’s so true that we come to this conversation with trepidation and uncertainty. I often wonder how women would feel if we approached birthing the way we do dying. From my perspective both are natural human experiences — yet we shun one and revere the other. Much like we reclaimed our right to birthing as a natural, not clinical experience, my hope is the same happens with dying. In the end, giving the dying voice is what inspires me.

Thank you for sharing this - It was so powerful. I have a friend going through hospice right now and I needed to read this.
I am so glad dear Sheila that you found this helpful. xxoo
