Death and Dying: A doctor’s perspective

Gallery of men and women before and after death

This is a link to an exhibit featuring pictures of individuals both
before and after death. As the website says:

This sombre series of portraits taken of people before and after they
had died is a challenging and poignant study. The work by German
photographer Walter Schels and his partner Beate Lakotta, who recorded
interviews with the subjects in their final days, reveals much about
dying – and living.

Life Before Death

It is quite powerful, and we encourage you to take time and look at it
during the next few weeks of curriculum regarding seriously ill and
dying patients.
