Death is an inevitable part of life. We spend a lot of time trying to forget that fact but as writers, our job is to face the difficult things and write about them anyway. We can heal ourselves by writing, and we can also help others. In today's interview, Dr Karen Wyatt, hospice physician and end of life specialist, discusses death, dying, and grief.

Karen Wyatt is a hospice physician and bestselling author of books about death, loss and grief. She's also the host of the "End of Life University" podcast, and an inspirational speaker who teaches how to live a life that really matters by embracing our mortality.
