60 - What really matters | BJ Miller

BJ Miller is an American physician, author and speaker. He has worked in hospice and palliative medicine physician and is known for his 2015 TED Talk, "What Really Matters at the End of Life". BJ speaks so calmly, intellectually and deeply about life and his experience on this episode of DEAD Talks. He reflects on his time in the hospital after he nearly died at the age of 19 and the meaning he pulls from it all. His interest in the way that we die and how he established his focus of reform in that aspect. This was a wonderful conversation that I felt honored to have with this man.

DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio engages death a little bit differently. Each new guest shares their experience with grieving or perspective on death in a way that shatters the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn't end, it evolves. Having lost his father on September 11th when he was 12 he learned the importance of discussion and sharing other people's stories. Grief, loss, death, mourning, trauma or whatever it may be, DEAD Talks Podcast hopes to make it a little easier to talk about. You may cry; but, you also may laugh.
