In his daytime job as leader of a palliative care counseling team at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital, Stephen Jenkinson has been at the death bed of well over a thousand people. What he sees over and over, he says, is "a wretched anxiety and an existential terror" even when there is no pain. Jenkinson, a Harvard Divinity graduate, social worker, sculptor, author, blues musician and storyteller, has now made it his life's mission to change the way we die - to turn the act of dying from denial and resistance into a natural part of life.
