Ten years ago Kathleen volunteered for hospice care and has since then been preparing for her own death.
Even with a terminal illness she continues on with good humor and a buddhist-like sensibility – seeing her flight from life as just another thing that happens – just like her fabulous dinner parties.
Hospice care provides humane care for terminally-ill people in the last phases of their life as well as for the families of those who are in the last stages of their life. Since filming this film, Kathleen has passed away.
This is a two minute segment of the documentary film “Lessons for the Living” which will be released Dec. 2011.
Director Lily Henderson. Cinematographer: Ed David. Producer: Leslie Koren, Shani Hashaviah.
