We often find when someone is dying they or their family struggle to talk about it. People may be reluctant to start a conversation or they may want to talk but just don't know how. This interview with Dr Kathryn Mannix shares some stories from her own experiences and offers ways to initiate a conversation, or perhaps a way to be comfortable with letting that conversation go.
Dr. Kathryn Mannix is a palliative care physician from the UK dedicated to supporting public understanding and discussion of dying. Kathryn is also the author of two books - 'With the End in Mind' and 'Listen, How to Find the Words for Tender Conversations'.
