This is the first ever ‘Art of Dying Well’ podcast. What is it? Simply put it’s a monthly programme that aims to make death and dying something we can talk about openly without discomfort or fear. Dying well means different things to different people. Death is an individual experience, but a community of accompaniment on the journey can help us to prepare by bringing consolation and spiritual peace. In this podcast we cover child bereavement with Sue McDermott from the charity Rainbows GB, discuss the extraordinary on-air cancer diary of broadcaster Steve Hewlett and get the view from the Chaplain’s Chair from Bishop Paul Mason – the Catholic Church’s healthcare bishop.
