Page 2 of 2 An International Photographic Exhibition Sharing the Wisdom of the Dying There is a anonymous saying that you have lived a meaningful life if you have lived, loved and left a legacy.
This project introduces you to some inspirational people from around the world, who kindly share their legacies.
These people are all connected to a palliative care service, either as patients, carers, family members or health care
professionals.
They live each day closely connected to the one certainty in life, death.
Many people fear being connected to the dying, yet few realise the privilege that can come with such a relationship.
The truth is that when life is lived with death close by, you gain in wisdom.
This project is about sharing that wisdom. The wisdom of the dying.
