Episode description
Dying isn’t just a medical event, it’s a deeply social one. In this powerful episode of The Life and Death Podcast, Professor Allan Kellehear, sociologist and founder of the Compassionate Communities movement, joins Stephen Rumford to explore how we can all play a part in supporting people at the end of life.
From challenging our assumptions about what care means, to sharing stories of connection, meaning and even visions of near death, Allan invites us to see dying differently. This is a conversation about presence, belonging, and why we need a more compassionate, inclusive approach to death, dying and grief.
