On Dignity and Suffering in Life's Eleventh Hour

Join Us Online for On Dignity and Suffering in Life's Eleventh Hour

In this dynamic, engaging conversation, acclaimed writer and palliative care physician Dr. Puri, the author of That Good Night: Life and Medicine in the Eleventh Hour , will be in conversation about the ways that spiritual dimensions of life and death shape how people think about what matters most—and what doesn't—as they face their mortality. Concepts of dignity, suffering, and mercy are largely absent from conversations with people who are seriously ill, yet they are the heartbeat of decisions about living and dying well. Drawing on her experiences as a palliative care physician and her writing about life and medicine in the eleventh hour, Dr. Puri will invite participants to consider how these ideas influence their lives and how they might shape their wishes for life's end.
