The When You Die trilogy seeks to foster good conversations around death by de-mystifying the dying process by reducing our fear of death through knowledge. With insight and humor, these topics are explored with leading clinicians who have spent their careers at the bedside, researchers studying the nature of consciousness, and personal stories of love and loss. Discussing what happens when we die with curiosity and compassion allows death to become a more accessible part of life.
