Coping with Death

Why are we as a society so reticent about death? Why do so many people find their first contact with a dying person a deeply unsettling experience?
Margaret Percy talks to people who are facing up to the prospect of their own death, or have experienced the death of someone close to them. and finds out what services are available to support both the dying and the bereaved.

(Six programmes on Life and Death start next Sunday on R4 VHF at 5pm)
