Description

This is Ira Byock's dream and he is dedicating his life to making it come true. DYING WELL brings us to the homes and bedsides of families with whom Dr. Byock has worked, telling stories of love and reconciliation in the face of tragedy, pain, medicadrama and conflict. Through the true stories of patients, he shows us that a lot of important emotional work can be accomplished in the final months, weeks and even days of life. It is a companion for families, showing them how to deal with doctors,how to talk to loved ones-and how to make the end of life as meaningful and enriching as the beginning.
