Is it possible to prepare for death? In Russia palliative health care, the holistic support at the end of life, is needed by 1.5 million people. And next to everyone of those there are 10, 20, 30 family members, colleagues, friends, so hospice care is relevant for everyone. What can each person do for it? How to communicate with those who are terminally ill, or those who's recently lost someone? Is it true that hospice is not a house of death but a house where there is life for the rest of life? Why is it like that in some places but not others? We are about to have an honest conversation with a person who's got the biggest heart, Nyuta Federmesser, the daughter of the founder of the First Moscow Hospice Vera Millionschikova. Nyuta is a social activist, the founder of The Fund for Assistance to hospices "Vera" ("Faith").
