YouTube description

Could talking about death actually make life more, and not less, meaningful? Could it enrich our relationships with those we care about most - including those who are dying?

Dr Megan Best, Palliative Care expert, and Dr Michael Jensen, theologian and pastor, lead two compelling seminars on the subject of Death, Suffering, and the Search for Meaning.

Part #1 In our youth-obsessed and death-denying society there is a widespread fear of serious illness and the process of dying. However, medical research has shown that end of life experiences may not impact on our quality of life if our spiritual well-being is high. Palliative care doctor, bio-ethicist and researcher Dr Megan Best leads this seminar on the latest research in human spirituality and its role in improving quality of life, and how it differs from religion.
