Angela Mennitto, a death midwife and community educator, and Deb Traunstein, a medical social worker, in Ithaca, New York talk to us about why having end-of-life conversations is so important. They'll discuss why it's so hard, what may happen if you don't have the conversations and what role culture plays in how we talk about death.
