On Our Own Terms: Moyers on Dying: This four-part video series from Bill Moyers crosses the country from hospitals to hospices to homes to capture some of the most intimate stories ever filmed and the most candid conversations ever shared with a television audience around end-of-life care. Zen Hospice Project’s volunteer program was featured in the first segment, Living With Dying. With Eyes Open: KQED presented four half-hour companion shows to On Our Own Terms: honest discussions about caregiving, grief, difficult decisions and what may lie beyond death. The first episode, Mourning, was a conversation about loss, grief and healing facilitated by the founder of Zen Hospice Project, Frank Ostaseski.
