Knowing that her time was nearing an end, Erdahl describes to Grosklags the very human experience of dying, from first learning about her terminal diagnosis to what she hopes her death will be like. Together along with Erdahl's family, friends and oncologist, new perspectives are shared in hopes of making the dying experience more meaningful to a person. "Everyone deserves a good death," Grosklags says. "Our hope is that we can teach medical providers to approach the conversation of a terminal diagnosis and end-of-life care with more empathy, respect, and compassion." "Dying Is Not Giving Up" teaches all of us that caring for patients and loved ones at the end of their life can be one of the most rewarding experiences of ours. Written by
