Description
TW: Today’s episode covers death. What is a good death and is it important?In my work I see examples of good and bad deaths depending on how it is perceived by those who bear witness to it and those left behind.I discuss whether death planning is something we should talk about more as a society as death is an inevitable part of life.Links:BMJ article - A good death: https://www.bmj.com/content/320/7228/129Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: https://www.ekrfoundation.org/elisabeth-kubler-ross/quotes/Euthanasia: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8857436/Merope Mills article: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/sep/03/13-year-old-daughter-dead-in-five-weeks-hospital-mistakesMarie Curie (end of life care charity): https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/blog/we-cant-prevent-death/153956Death planning: https://www.mariecurie.org.uk/talkabout/articles/get-your-planning-checklist/260241Why smell is so evocative: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3782615/Puja flowers (my favourite smell): https://www.thedailystar.net/lifestyle/spotlight/flowers-my-goddess-159139 Hosted on Acast.
