The latest blog post from our [Fear of Death: A Fear of Life] series from the HEAL (Hospice Educators Affirming Life) Project and the Hospice Volunteer Association
David Schneider, BBC Radio Show Host, talks to palliative care consultant Kathryn Mannix about what dying is like
David Schneider is terrified of death.
In his two editions of One to One he wants to try to overcome his fear by talking to those who have first-hand understanding of dying. In this programme, he talks to Palliative Care consultant, Kathryn Mannix.
With almost forty years of clinical experience and witnessing over twelve thousand deaths, she believes that a 'good death' is possible even when you are seriously ill.
She explains the process of dying to David. This, she believes, if accepted by the patient, removes much of the anxiety and fear surrounding the end of life.
