The Hidden Language of Dying
Everything living has a language — babies, the sea, forest, skies. Dying does, too. This talk with Dr. Martha Jo Atkins is about learning to understand the language around end-of-life.
In this session, you’ll discover:
- What the language of dying is
- How to support someone when they're in the space in-between
- The healing power of dreams (part of the language) for the dying and those who love them
