Dying to Talk ~ Living to Listen with Dr. Dawn Gross, MD, PhD – Hosted by TLC Transitional Life Care

TLC Transitional Life Care presents…

Dying To Talk~Living to Listen

How can we prepare for death in a culture that doesn’t lend itself to acknowledging mortality? How is it that grief, in all its forms, can inform with clarity how we choose to live right now? Dr. Dawn Gross, hospice and palliative medicine physician and creator and host of ‘Dying To Talk’ radio, is leading a paradigm shift in how we talk about death and listen to grief. At the heart of both is a practice of curiosity. The words we choose impact our actions. Creating a community conversation centered on curiosity creates space for conversations about what matters most to occur. Join TLC as we discover what we are dying to talk about in a way that compels us to live and listen. This event will include a short intermission.

Dawn M. Gross, MD, PhD, hospice and palliative medicine physician, writer, podcaster and Magic Wand Bearer, (aka Dr. AsYouWish) pioneers revolutionary palliative medicine as the art of patient care, scientific curiosity and storytelling. Her work inspires each of us to discover what is uniquely essential to us and to talk about it with the people we love. Medical director of ANX hospice and attending physician on the UCSF Palliative Care Service, her writing has been published widely including in The New York Times, JAMA, and Science and Annals of Internal Medicine. Dr. Dawn has recently developed a radical approach to healing what she refers to as the “injury of grief” which she describes as the “ICU for the Soul.” Watch for her new book, Heart Sounds: How a Stethoscope, A Magic Wand, and a Fishing Pole Teach Us to Listen for What Matters Most.
