This brave and courageous film gives patients, caregivers and physicians permission and encouragement to embrace end of life conversations in ways that haven’t been talked about much before. – Screening Guest
August’s webinar will feature the film Dying Is Not Giving Up, conversations between Licensed Psychotherapist Kelly Grosklags and her patient, Judy Erdahl, who was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Knowing that her time was nearing an end, Erdahl describes to Grosklags the very human experience of dying, from first learning about her terminal diagnosis to what she hopes her death will be like. Together along with Erdahl’s family, friends and oncologist, new perspectives are shared in hopes of making a patient’s care more personal and meaningful. “Our hope is that we can teach medical providers to approach difficult conversations about patient care with more empathy, respect, and compassion.” says Grosklags.
