About Laurie McDonald:

I have been a medical social worker for over three decades, in America and Ireland. I have had the privilege of being with many people as they have died. 


What brings you to Death Cafe?

I think it's important to talk about death.


What would you like your legacy to be?

I hope that by listening and talking to people about death I can help them identify and achieve their goals for a good death.


Thoughts for sharing:

Denial of death can get in the way of achieving a good death. Being able to think and talk about what's important to you, and sharing those thoughts with loved ones and medical professionals, can vastly improve the journey for all involved.
