The Four Things That Matter Most
"Please
forgive me. I forgive you. Thank you. I love you."
These four simple statements are a powerful
tool for easing suffering of people facing life's end - themselves or a
loved one - and preparing to say "Good-bye." They are about cleaning
up and "becoming current" in our relationships with the people in our
lives who matter most.

Dr.
Byock has been instrumental in developing Reclaiming the End of
Life, a
non-partisan Initiative
that will use the 2007 New Hampshire primary campaign as a means
of capturing national attention to the plight of frail elders, dying
people and family caregivers – and to potential solutions to this
national crisis.
Stay tuned for details and the launch of a dedicated website.

Living
With Dying -
Website and Blog |
"TWO WEEKS" is a 2007
motion picture starring Sally Fields about a mother's
dying and her three thirty-something children who care for her.
 Almost everyone has
known someone who was dying. It's part of life. While we all have
stories of what happened during that time, most of us haven't talked
about them with others. This site, inspired by the upcoming film
"Two Weeks," is the place to share those experiences and to engage
in dialogue with Dr. Byock and Steve Stockman, the writer and
director of Two Weeks.
