The Kiss and the Dying

In this month's show, we've heard a lot about the choices we all face about end of life care. We close with a story about death itself. Ceil Muller is a producer at KQED Radio, and ten years ago her husband Alvar Stugard died of a chronic disease. Two years later, Ceil decided she wanted to put together a story about what those last days with her husband were like, with hopes that we could all draw something from her experience. Ceil's story first aired on KQED Radio's "Hot Soup" in February 2002. Reporter: Ceil Muller
