Saying Goodbye: Preparing for Death
How can we talk about death? What is a good death? Does the body need help to die? What quality of life is enough for us? Where do we want to die? What is a conscious death? Could we have one?
Through stories from professionals who have spent their careers at the bedside, "Saying Goodbye" opens the door to good conversations about what is possible as we pass from this life, and what that may look like for us and our loved ones.
Exploring what happens after death not only helps us decide how we want to be cared for at the end of life, but it reduces our fear of death and that, as is often said, helps us live more fully.
Experts featured in the documentary:
Rev. David Maginley, M.Div; Rev. Olivia Bareham; Dr. Ann Marie Chiasson, MD; Julie McFadden, RN; Dr. Penny Sartori, PhD; Dr. Peter Fenwick, MD; Sue Brayne, MA; Dr. Anthony Bossis, PhD; Dr. Andrew Holecek, DDS; Jill Schock, MTS; Dr. Laurie Mallery, MD; Dr. Paige Moorhouse, MD.
The When You Die Project:
The When You Die Project exists to explore what might happen when we die, and to open thoughtful, honest conversations about death — a cultural dialogue too often avoided. The When You Die Team believes talking about death isn’t dangerous; but in fact, it can nurture healthier individuals and families who approach the end of life informed, inspired, and even with a sense of humor. By approaching the topic of dying with curiosity rather than fear, and compassion rather than silence, we help return death to its rightful place as a natural part of life. When we demystify the dying process, we create the conditions for a more conscious and meaningful end — and often, a more intentional way of living. The When You Die Project is an educational resource website, a podcast host, the home to an engaged online community via social media, but ultimately at the heart of the project is a documentary trilogy about what happens when we die.
