TV Series and Website Seeking Stories on How We Die

I am posting an extra blog this week because this important and urgent.

I am helping with the How We Die Project and I think this might be something you might be interested in doing as well. They need stories about the good, the bad and the ethically complicated cases we have seen. This is an amazing opportunities for the public to understand the complexities of dying in hospitals, homes, nursing homes, etc. Please forward this to your nurses, physicians, social workers, chaplains, respiratory therapists, bioethics committee members, public and private guardians and the patients and families you serve. This is a national project so please forward this to anyone who might be interested across America. See below for more information. Thanks, Viki

TV Series and Website Seeking Stories on How We Die*:

A new website and TV series is looking for first-person stories from
patients, their families, loved ones, and health care professionals about
how personal experiences have shaped what we believe about death and dying.
Stories are about the decisions we make for ourselves, for loved ones, or
for patients at the end of life.
The series, tentatively titled “Stories,” is being developed by Marc N.
Weiss, creator of the long-running PBS series P.O.V. and Tom Yellin, a
veteran network news and public affairs producer.

Our pilot episode will explore experiences that tested or challenged
people’s values and beliefs about who decides when and how we die, and what
role, if any, government and healthcare institutions should play in those
decisions.

Please visit the site and submit your story! www.how-we-die.org

Have a kind and respectful day.
