In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event.

Michael, I hear so much about your dedication to the difficult profession of Palliative Medicine from your father. He has every right to be so proud of you. You are a credit to our noble profession and have taken a difficult path to honor our oath. My salute to you!
Thank you for sharing this wisdom that can make all the difference in how we support, love and presence the most cherished and special people in our lives. These examples and insights are also a wake-up call to the opportunity we have to pay attention and make sacred the passing of our loved ones and ourselves. Thank you Dr. Michael Fratkin for all of this!!
What a wonderful speaker! I love this man! He oozes love for life and all people. Thank you 💜
What an honor to know you, Michael. You have such wisdom. Thank you for all you do.
So nice and so real. Acceptance. How is it for people like myself who have no family, or very few members far away? I've known loneliness at its depths much of my life. I most likely will have to manage my death in a different way with very little comfort as it progresses. I do know, however, that the other side is a welcoming place. I'd like to leave this side soon.
Wonderful - helping to remove the fear around this subject of transitioning to the next phase of more life. So well done, and spoken from the heart..Thank you! x
Thank you I just lost the love of my life my husband. Beautiful peaceful death my first experience of being with him in his last moment.
Wow! Fabulous and helpful talk! I have always wondered where Dr.Fratkin was, since he was my doctor years ago. I have missed him greatly, but now I see what important work he is doing! I want to hear more!
Sir You are a true earth angel God bless You.
This is the most inspiring thing I've seen in a while! Thank you so much!
I have witnessed more than one death of very close people in the past few months, and actually this is so relieving.
Thanks again!
Beautiful, Michael. Thank you for the work you do, the presence you bring, and the wisdom you share...in this talk and in your daily walk. Sharing now.
Thank you for sharing this sensitive understanding of this very human experience that we so rarely get to witness. Thank you
Well done, Michael! I am happy for you to have the opportunity to share your wisdom with a new audience.
A pleasure it is being here, learning from your insightful life cycle talk. Cheers to presence in life and death.
Beautiful talk! I laughed, I cried, it was a part of me.
Seriously, thank you - for the talk, and the incredibly important and difficult work you do. You give me hope. AND some important things to think about! I always thought I was a "bus person"!
Thank you so much for this talk. I found your stories inspiring and validating. I hope you continue to share your wisdom.
From the time we were children, I always knew you were something special. I am so proud to be one of your species and, regardless of how many years have passed, to count you amongst my most cherished friends.
Thanks for sharing this with the rest of the world!
Beautiful Michael!
That was amazing how he put all that into words. I have never heard the way I feel about death explained so well. Thank you.
Just read an article about your bedside in-home work in Northern cali. Well done indeed.
Thanks Mary Lynn.
Thank YOU! How did you see the talk so quickly?!
Thank you. How did you see the talk so fast!?
I'm glad you liked the talk....I rarely get around to replying...life is going fast, eh?
Still don’t understand why I am still afraid of dying?
Its uploaded on the blessed UA-cam, where I am typing this response :) Search the TED Talks channel
same here!
Have you experienced "Graceful Passages", an elegant book with two CDs addressing death. Messages about people's facing their own death! Used in hospice! A must for anyone who wants to face the complexities of dying. I'm facilitating a workshop on "Transitioning into Death: A Personal Exploration" on Jan 17th. The workshop is for men of any age.
So much promise . . . and then so many platitudes. Medicine is welcome to manage my physical symptoms, but if this is all you've got to offer my intellect then stay away. I'll keep my philosopher, thanks.
Dying is also an animal experience.. they die too
Don't miss the point.
Larissa Krause i didnt miss the Point i just added some Truth.. cause dying isnt just a Human experience...
He didn't say it was. He only said it was an important human experience. That was a truth. When you think about it, plants die too, some studies even show electrical signals that indicate screaming if a plant is set on fire. It's not the topic though. Although, I think a ted talk about how animals grieve would be an amazing talk!
