Kathryn Mannix: How to Die Well | Simplify Podcast

Does talking about death freak you out? No wonder, it's something many of us avoid thinking about and prefer pretending it's not there. But it's an important topic, and if we can allow ourselves to sit with the truth that life will eventually end, it becomes a beautiful call to appreciate our lives and the people in them.
And this is why palliative care physician Kathryn Mannix wrote her book, With the End in Mind: Dying, Death, and Wisdom in an Age of Denial www.blinkist.com/en/nc/browse.... Having witnessed death many thousands of times, Kathryn has come to a view that there's usually little to fear and much to prepare for.
In this episode, Kathryn will help you understand what the human organism goes through as death approaches so that you can be less afraid of the process itself. She'll share how to prepare for the end of your life-both practically and mentally-as well as what you can do if you find yourself on the other side, supporting a loved one approaching the end of theirs.
