Following Your Inner Purpose with Film Producer Nic Askew

DC Hospice Experience and Sitting with the Dying

Nic Askew reflects on his time filming at a hospice in Washington, D.C., that cared for homeless African-American men with AIDS. He observes the tension created by well-meaning volunteers who want the dying to live, contrasting it with the peace found when one sits with a person without wanting anything to be different. This experience reinforced his understanding that "doing nothing" is often the most profound form of support.
