Choosing what to watch night after night the flicking through the endless

searching is a nightmare we want to help you on our brand new podcast off the

telly we share what we've been watching

Cladie Aide.

Load to games, loads of fun, loads of screaming.

Lovely. Off the telly with me Joanna Paige.

And me, Natalie Cassidy, so your evenings can be a little less

searching and a lot more auction listen on BBC sounds.

Hello and thanks for downloading witness history from the BBC World Service.

I'm Lucy Burns and today I want to talk about death and one remarkable woman who changed the way we think about dying and grief.

Elizabeth Kubla Ross was a psychiatrist whose work with terminally ill patients

started a revolution in end of life care.

And her idea that we go through a series of stages

when we experience grief has spread all over the world.

Elizabeth Kubler Ross grew up in Switzerland, one of Triplett Sisters.

She volunteered with refugees in Polish concentration camps after the Second World War

and then went home to train as a doctor. She spoke to the BBC in

1983. In Switzerland I was a country doctor and I would deliver babies and I would take care of old people

and coronaries and surgery.

And at night before I would go back home, I would always go and visit my dying patients.

There was nothing really you could do medically speaking, but you could sit at their bedside and talk to them and hold their hand and they would share their life with you.

In 1958, she moved to the US with her husband.
