This short video was made February 14, 2007 - yes, Valentine's Day! - not long after the release of my first book, The Final Crossing. The video explores the bridge between supporting people who are physically dying and guiding those who are dying symbolically - learning to die in order to live.

On Being a Mortal Animal a 90-minute audio interview with Daniel Vitalis ReWild Yourself #156 - August 9, 2017
from the "ReWild Yourself" website: "How you live is how you die," Dr. Scott Eberle — a physician specializing in end-of-life care — tells us in today's interview. Having spent many years at the bedside of the dying, Scott has learned some important lessons from those participating in their final rite of passage, and he's here to impart a bit of that wisdom with us today, inspiring us to live and die more consciously . . . In this interview, we explore the practice of living and dying and what it means to be a mortal animal. Consciously approaching life and death calls for us to "confront the difficult questions" and "have the difficult conversations" right now, and Scott shares how he has integrated these practices into his own life. We discuss Scott's experiences working in hospice, thoughts on death acceptance, the common regrets of the dying and much more. If you’re a mortal animal, you’ll want to hear this conversation . . .
