Talking Openly About Death And Dying

Mary Landberg

We don't mind talking about taxes, but death is another matter entirely. 

Oregon Humanities is determined to break through the resistance, with a series of conversations on the end of life called simply "Talking About Dying."

Communities all across the state are hosting the discussions, including Ashland, Medford, and Klamath Falls. 

Pastor Fred Grewe talks about death a great deal in his role as hospice chaplain. 

He and an Oregon Humanities rep join us to frame the discussion.
