For years, Laura Schmidt helped cancer patients come to terms
with their mortality. She even had a degree in thanatology, the study of death and dying.
Then, at the age of 51, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This ABC News program
follows Laura through her final months as she applies her knowledge and experience to her
own case, squarely addressing end-of-life issues to create a good death that would leave
herself and those caring for her at peace. Interviews conducted with her husband and
others after Laura passed away provide additional insights into the end of life even as
they add closure to the story of a caring person who had the courage to model the very
behaviors she had instilled in so many others. (27 minutes, color)
