Story Library
“I learned about a lot of things in medical school, but mortality wasn’t one of them…The way we saw it, and the way our professors saw it, the purpose of medical schooling was to teach how to save lives, not how to tend to their demise.”
— Atul Gawande: Being Mortal
Our Story Library holds first person podcasts and blogs about the end-of-life. Written and voiced by those who have lived these valuable stories and who are motivated to destigmatise death and dying.
