TLC Transitional Life Care is presenting my conversation on

LAST WORDS: When death joins a relationship, our words escape us. How do we talk about such a thing? How do we tell people what we want, what we feel? In this program, we will consider how to talk to a dying person, and how the dying talk to us. And afterward? How do we express these deepest of feelings?
