Dr. Dawn Gross

Feeling lost, overwhelmed, and invisible -- these are just some of the challenging emotions nearly all caregivers encounter.  

Join a conversation with guests intimately with the struggles of caring for a dying loved one and discover how, even as we face great loss, something magical becomes possible.  March 10 at 7pm.

Dawn Gross, MD, PhD has been caring for people with life-threatening illnesses for over a decade. She is committed to revolutionizing the way we talk about — and prepare for — death.  On her special KALW series Dying To Talk, she and her guests will create a safe space to transform the experience of end-of-life conversations from dread to discovery.
