Interview - Annelise Schinzinger, author of The Art and Science of Caregiving: Stories of Inspiring Elders with an End-of-Life Guidebook

Listen now to Annelise Schinzinger

Broaching one of the more difficult issues of life, the death and dying of a loved one, Annelise shares with us her experiences and knowledge of being a caregiver to ones who are passing.  She speaks of what it means to be prepared for death, local gatherings where people discuss the topic with each other (death cafes), the phenomenon of ‘terminal lucidity’ where the dying suddenly become very aware in their final moments, near death experiences, the role of psychedelics in transition, the managment of pain, facing fears of the unknown, hospice at home, medically assisted dying, and finding a suitable caregiver.  

She joined us in the studio, and we found her to be a very engaging and profound guest, striking a cord with many of our listeners. Enjoy.
