Saying Goodbye: Preparing for Death

Through stories from professionals who have spent their careers at the bedside, “Saying Goodbye” opens the door to good conversations about what is possible as we pass from this life, and what that may look like for us and our loved ones. It asks the questions so many of us avoid: How can we talk about death? What is a good death? Does the body need help to die? What quality of life is enough for us? Where do we want to die? What is a conscious death? Could we have one?

Exploring what happens after death not only helps us decide how we want to be cared for at the end of life, but it reduces our fear of death and that, as is often said, helps us live more fully.
