Most people who have an interest or passion for Hospice and palliative care may know the name B.J. Miller. This is a post for those who may not, an insight to a man who delivers incredible insight from deep contemplation. Not only as a hospice and palliative medical physician, but one who lives in the knowledge of “The Hospice Secret.”
His TED talk “What really matters at the end of life” has been viewed over 17 million times, and delivers a strong message. A message we all need to contemplate in our mortality, and in context of a life to be lived daily. He is a popular guest for many of the top podcast hosts, and can be found spreading his wisdom all over the internet.
We don’t hope to provide you a description of this incredible man here. It is best to experience him in his own words. Having personally experienced loss in the form of three of his limbs, BJ has an incredible and unique perspective on life. So please spend 20 minutes listening to his message and get a sample of what is called “The Hospice Secret”.
Simply a lesson one learns from being involved in the normal and natural process of death. One that teaches the importance of every day, and focuses on the important things in life. Vital things that may seem as small and trivial as the small, unimportant trivial things we should pay less attention to!
Watch B.J. Miller’s TED Talk here and take the message into your weekend!
