Preparing for a Good Death

Talking about death and our choices in dying is crucial to those of us who want to die a “good death” but it’s equally important that our loved ones know of our end of life and post-life wishes. Dr. Diana Mason, RN, talked with Mary Ellen Markant, RN, an end-of-life educator, about preparing for death. Markant writes and talks to groups about how to begin to feel comfortable with and accept death as a natural part of living. They also talk about “green” burials and other choices related to our after-death preferences. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills on WIOX radio on July 17, 2024.
