BJ Miller Understands Mortality
Oct 29, 2018-- Oncologist and Executive Director of the Zen Hospice Project, B. J. Miller is a practitioner who is part of a Buddhist-informed, humanistic approach to care. The Zen Hospice Project is a place where medical staff and volunteers practice love, compassion, and empathy. In this interview, Miller, who has experienced deep, personal loss, advocates for respecting our grieving process and allowing it to unfold by being present. He believes there is a place for traditional medicine, but the healing comes from acts of kindness, acceptance and respect. He counsels himself and others to make space for the other side of empathy, which is based on suffering, by doing those things and appreciating those relationships that give us light and make us feel alive.
