Ira Byock — Contemplating Mortality (Nov 7, 2013)

What if we understand death as a developmental stage — like adolescence or mid-life? Dr. Ira Byock says we lose sight of "the remarkable value" of the time of life we call dying if we forget that it's always a personal and human event, and not just a medical one. From his place on this medical frontier, he shares how we can understand dying as a time of learning, repair, and completion of our lives. www.onbeing.org/program/contempla…ortality/11072013
