Conversations on Health and Well Being

Death and dying, these are topics not openly discussed in the dominant American culture.  And yet, each of us will deal with death and ultimately face our own. What is a good death? What are important things to say and hear before death? How can death, at times, be a twisted gift?

In this WTIP original segment, Kristin DeArruda Wharton speaks with Dr. Sandy Stover, a family physician with a commitment to end of life issues. Kristin also speaks with Brenda Hartman, a therapist who faced her own imminent death, miraculously did not die, and has dedicated her career to counseling people with cancer and educating health professionals.
