Facing Your Own Mortality (Part 1) on The Doyenne Of Death Podcast

https://agoodgoodbye.com/podcasts/how... ‪@GailRubin‬ interviews Dr. Jeffrey Piehler on The Doyenne of Death® podcast. They discuss facing mortality and funeral planning issues. His 2014 essay in The New York Times on making a plain pine box for his eventual cremation had generated a huge reaction. Topics in this two-part discussion include: Why he decided to build his own coffin for a funeral followed by cremation. Family reaction – His wife really didn’t like the idea at first and how she and others changed their minds over the course of time. Perspective – “It’s pretty much impossible to feel anger at someone for driving too slowly in front of you in traffic when you’ve just come from sanding your own coffin.” Friendship – How building his own coffin with the help of a woodworking artist grew a friendship with a person very different from himself. Black humor – Laughing in the face of death while making your own coffin. On the inside lid of his handmade casket is the quote, “I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” Dr. Jeffrey Piehler’s life and death were featured in a documentary, Patient: A Surgeon’s Journey. This podcast was originally recorded February 12, 2014. Dr. Piehler died peacefully on November 14, 2014, surrounded by his family and friends. New episodes of The Doyenne of Death® podcast are released every Thursday. Find the series wherever you get your podcasts.
