End Well

Doctors like @ShoshUMD from @endwellproject are pushing Hollywood to update their depictions of death and dying on TV. Celebrities like @TigNotaro @YNB and @amandakloots are using their platforms to help. My latest story from @NPR: npr.org/sections/healt…

We need to reframe how we depict serious illness and dying — in film, in TV, and in pop culture. Thank you @NPR for the wonderful feature! #hapc npr.org/transcripts/12…

2 weeks ago, I attended the @endwellproject conference in LA, where actors, doctors, authors, comedians, musicians, counselors, and more shared vulnerable moments reflecting on navigating the challenges of life, loss, and love in front of hundreds. Here's what you missed:

Intense but necessary conversations about the end of life experience. Thank you @endwellproject for bringing powerful stories and new perspectives to the forefront. We need more of this! #endwell #endoflife #caregiving #grief #healing

Today, I'm at the @endwellproject conference, a non-profit transforming the end of life, caregiving, and grief into a human-centered experience. End Well was founded by the incredible @ShoshUMD, and I'm so grateful she invited me! Please check out the fantastic work they do.

@Haje @ShoshUMD We’re sad too! Hopefully you can tune in for the livestream!

I am super mega sad I can't go to @endwellproject's festival in LA this year: endwellproject.org I care about how people die - and how to die better - and what @ShoshUMD and team is building here is gloriously important and beautifully of the now.

@alinasato We are so thrilled to have you join us on stage on Nov 16th!

"I dream of a world in which we talk about the dying process with the ease that we speak of birth, approaching the bookends of life with the same curiosity and fervor that they both deserve." @endwellproject stories by Mandi Gundersen endwellproject.org/blog/an-end-we…
