How To Die: Episode 5

3/16/2021

All things grief, loss, and love with guest Dr. B.J. Miller. In this beautiful dialogue, we cover:

  • the many kinds of grief — what they are, how they function
  • why/how our brains avoid sadness
  • the role and importance of feelings and emotions at the end of life, and throughout our lives
  • how we each feel, process, and work with grief.
