Why Don't We Talk About Dying? | Dr. Kathryn Mannix | TEDxYouth@DúnLaoghaire
Dr Kathryn Mannix gives a very human explanation of 'ordinary dying' in a way that all generations can understand. A topic mostly avoided she has made very accessible, with this talk and her widely acclaimed books 'With The End in Mind' and 'Listen' Dr Kathryn Mannix who was a consultant in palliative care medicine for 20 years, working in hospices, patients’ own homes and a large teaching hospital, gave this additional talk to our Youth Audience. She took early retirement in 2016 to work for better public understanding of dying; this has included radio work, newspaper articles & write 'With the End in Mind' became an international Best Seller, was shortlisted for the Wellcome Book Prize & was The Times ‘Thought’ Book of the Year. Her second book, Listen, about tender communication, was published to critical acclaim in September 2021. She believes that by naming death, describing the process, and helping people to know what to expect, we can have honest, frank and helpful conversations that promote better planning of end of life care and reduce unnecessary and unhelpful medical complications of dying. Her hope is that we can de-medicalise dying, and give it back to everyone as a precious time to be lived as well as possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This woman's voice and demeanor is so soothing and calming. She's the perfect person to be there to help the family of the dying and the dying themselves transition.

This is such a touching and meaningful speech! Dr. Mannix seems like an angel to me and she probably is for her patients and her patients' relatives. Thanks a lot ❤.
Dr Mannix: thank you. I wish I could listen to you 23 years ago when my Mum was dying, at home. It was such a medical and emotional mess that it still haunts me today. For some unwise reason we have removed death from our society. And this haunting us in even more scary ways that it did in the past. We need to make peace with death because it is part of life.
What a beautiful soothing voice this lady has. She’s like an Angel in disguise.
My Mother is at the end of her life, your talks have made things easier to understand, they have been a comfort, thank you.
I appreciate your discussion on how the airways work during death process.
So insightful and a accurate. I’ve seen to many people die. I wish I had seen this sooner.

Bless your crying ♡ God loves you
This lady is amazing!
I recommended Dr Mannix other TED talk to a neighbor whose mother was dying. They said they found it so helpful that it should be advised that all relatives with terminal care folk should hear it.. 🙏🏾thanks indeed
The sentiment of sharing that vital "I Love You" is beautifully expressed (as it was here) in Mark Knopfler's song "If This Is Goodbye". It was written in the same context Kathryn refers to, namely the messages left by those about to die in the 9/11 planes.
"Humanity restored"
No one gets out alive
How come is has been 1 year this and, is not getting all over.
Generation Z will make this viral in 30yrs or 40yrs 😂

Religion is a huge reason. Millions of people think they have a candy cane at the end of their life and it won’t end. If you believe nonsense, it’s hard to accept harsh reality.
Resuccitating people is ust like jump starting a car.
Not loud enuff 😡
