"Afrontar la muerte para descubrir la vida" | Mar López Sala | TEDxSitges

Mar speaks to us about life from a different perspective than usual: from the perspective of approaching death. When we approach death, we realize that life is not just about reaching a goal, but rather that it is conscious and meaningful experiences that lead us to live fully, and in this way, when our time comes to depart, we better accept our passing. Responding to a need to understand human beings in depth, she studied medicine at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, ​​dentistry at the University of Barcelona, ​​and a Master's degree in Neural Therapy from the SJD Teaching Campus, as well as various disciplines related to holistic health, in order to broaden her therapeutic horizons. She realized that the most authentic and healing helping relationship, in a bidirectional sense, occurred in the context of critical situations, especially when people were in their own dying process. She completed a Master's degree in Palliative Care at UVic-ICO, a Multidisciplinary Postgraduate Program in Palliative Care at CHS San Camilo, and training as an Expert in End-of-Life Care from the Vinyana Association. She provides home-based support to people with advanced and terminal illnesses and volunteers at Mutuam Girona. She offers training related to the culture of dying and the importance of end-of-life care. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
