Death is one of the hardest things to talk about, in spite of the fact that it is something we all have to face. This programme investigates the human and practical problems of the dying and the bereaved, and looks at the role of doctors, clergy, relatives and friends in caring for those facing death.
The second half of the programme is an opportunity to phone in and talk to Dr Cicely Saunders, Dr Colin Murray Parkes, Rev. Preb. Austen Williams
