Following the death of her father, a journalist and hospice volunteer examines what it means to die well in the United States
Following the death of her father, journalist and hospice volunteer Ann Neumann sets out to examine what it means to die well in the United States. She struggled to put her life back in order after being a full-time caregiver and was haunted by the question, was her father's death a good death?

To gain a better understanding, Neumann became a hospice volunteer and set out to discover what a good death is today.
