William DeBruin recounts his experiences as a hospice volunteer. Working with patients who have at most 6 months to live changed Will's views on death and what it means to be mortal. Will is a neuroscience major graduating with the class of 2020. He wants to speak on hospice volunteering because it is a form of community involvement that many people are not aware of, despite it pertaining to the community's weakest members, those in the difficult transition between life and death. Will won't be speaking to seek to answer questions about what happens after death, but rather portray the dying process, in a celebration of life. 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
