Joan Halifax — A Midwife to the Dying

from On Being with Krista Tippett · host On Being Studios

The Terri Schiavo case earlier this year raised ethical and medical issues that remain with us today. But missing in that debate was a real attention to the quality and the meaning of death. Joan Halifax tells us what she’s learned and how she lives differently after three decades accompanying others to the final boundary of human life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
