episode of Wies Talkers and as with my edition, which featured an interview that I conducted in

1979 with Pulitzer Prize winning poet Gary Snyder, this third edition also features an interview

from that period back when I was hosting a weekly live

interview show called World Views on KVMR Radio in Nevada City, California.

Now sometime in 1981, world-renowned death and dying pioneer Elizabeth Kubla Ross came to the Grass Valley, Nevada City

area to teach a class and give a lecture, and I was fortunate to book a half hour in her busy schedule

for a radio interview. So I took my remote recording equipment to the local school

where she was giving her talk. She said she had about a half hour max so we

quickly started the interview which I will replay here in a few minutes and in our

short conversation we covered a wide range of subjects

related to death and dying, which of course was her life work, including what happens at the moment

of death, her convictions about life after death, children and death, working with parents who have lost children,

even in especially traumatic circumstances.

We talked about parenting and grandparenting and about unconditional love and child

rearing.
