The third episode in our end-of-life series Chris Palmer and I (Michael C. Patterson) focus our conversation on what happens when we are in the process of dying.
Chris points out that we can die in two ways: suddenly or slowly. Some of us might, unexpectedly, get hit by a truck and die suddenly. But, the vast majority of us these days will live a long life and will die a slow death. Chris and I explore how we decide that we have begun the process of dying and explore the options we have about how we might like to die. Chris offers advice on what we should, and should not say, to someone who is actively dying.
