Dr Sarah Winch: Let's prepare for death - the value of death literacy

In this episode I speak with Dr Sarah Winch an Australian Healthcare Ethicist and author who talks to us about the importance of developing our death literacy. Dr Winch shares her thoughts about why talking about death during our life can help to reduce our fear and discomfort by preparing us for the inevitability of death whether it comes to us today or anytime in the future. What About Death is hosted by Tsultrim and edited by Kiara Fauzi and Shannon Callander. Special thanks to Verena Coombs, Joshua Byrd, Adair Sheppard, and the Karuna team.
