The inevitably of our physical mortality is always present, yet for most people, it is easily shelved, ignored, and left out of our contemplation, as the pressing concerns of living take centre stage. When we face the loss of a loved one, or when we have a health issue that is potentially life-limiting, then we necessarily take stock of our understanding of death and dying processes. In this episode, Chandrika talks to Satyam Brown, palliative care social worker and counsellor, about his work and how we might facilitate peaceful embodiment right up to the end of life.
Satyam Brown, BSW, MCouns, is a mobile palliative care social worker, who supports families, individuals, carers, and health professionals to bring dignity and humanity to the care of people at the end of their lives. Satyam is also a meditation facilitator, educator, and co-founder of Surya Health.
