We need to start by explaining #OrdinaryDying (e.g. bit.ly/TheosDFB)
Then we can talk about how we maintain symptom control once the dying person can't reliably waken to swallow meds towards the last few days of life - when syringe driver maintains comfort but doesn't shorten life.
Dying for Beginners | Dr Kathryn Mannix
In modern British society, death is out of sight and behind closed doors. Many of us lack direct exposure to the dying process - with all sorts of potential emotional and spiritual consequences for how we grieve our loved ones, as well as how we prepare for our own deaths. What does the dying process actually look like? A short animation by Emily Downe, and voiced by Dr Kathryn Mannix which guides you gently on a step by step journey through the process of dying. Acclaimed author, speaker and former palliative care physician Dr Kathryn Mannix has spent her medical career working with people who have incurable, advanced illnesses. The author of two Sunday Times Bestsellers – With The End in Mind and Listen, Dr Mannix is on a mission to reclaim the public’s understanding of dying. CREDITS Written and voiced by Dr Kathryn Mannix Directed and designed by Emily Downe Animated by Martha Halliday Music and sound by Jan Willem de With Produced by Theos with thanks to The Fetzer institute Find out more about Theos' work in the area of death, dying and the afterlife here: https://www.theosthinktank.co.uk/dying-for-beginners-theos-work-on-death-dying-and-the-afterlife ***** Like what you see?

Lovely to meet you! Your sister being a medievalist makes so much sense...the politics of your world and the day to day lives of the different classes felt so real! I loved how the succession rights worked and how much sense it made...and how it affected the world your characters inhabited! ❤️

Are you the author of the Crown of Stars series?! Truly fantastic fantasy series! It feels so grounded and authentic whilst giving a different spin on the fantasy elements! One of my favourite fantasy series! ❤️
