Shapes Of Grief

This week I speak to Dr Kathryn Mannix, palliative care pioneer, about the dying process. Like birth, there are certain stages of death which Kathryn hopes to demystify in her book ‘With the End in Mind’. Kathryn does a wonderful job in normalising this process which we all face and looks at how we can take the fear out of this natural and inevitable stage of life. Kathryn oozes compassion and humanity, offering ways in which we can approach this often-feared topic in a whole new light. We discuss ways in which we can support our loved ones who are facing death and also how we can make our own deaths easier for our loved ones.  Kathryn’s wisdom goes a long way in normalising death and dying, this really is a must-listen for all of us! Dr Kathryn Mannix will be the keynote speaker at the Forum 2019 “Dying is everyone’s business” in Dublin Castle on Thursday 24th October, tickets can be bought here https://hospicefoundation.ie/programmes/public-awareness/forum-on-end-of-life-2019/.
