How does a successful career in film and television lead to a passion for supporting people to design their deaths? When a temporary pit stop working at a local hospice turned into a 17 year career collecting the stories of dying people, Kimberly Paul was as surprised as anyone. But the loss of her recently ex-boyfriend to cancer (the break-up later revealed as his attempt to protect her from his death and her grief) made her work much more personal. It became her mission to facilitate end of life conversations across tables all over the nation. Her recent tour of 49 of the 50 states in an r.v. cements her commitment to that work. Her project, Death by Design, seeks to change the way we think about end of life.
