Talking About Death Won’t Kill You: Conversations About Medical Assistance in Dying and More
Anyone caring for someone with a serious illness will naturally think about how to support a “good death”. But what is a good death? This month, join host Donna Thomson for a conversation with Dr. Kathy Kortes-Miller, best-selling author and Canada’s favourite unconventional death educator.
