Show Notes
Our next guest is someone I had the honour of standing alongside on the TEDx stage in Brisbane earlier this year. Maggie James is a music therapist with 18 years’ experience in paediatric healthcare and has worked extensively in intensive and palliative care. She believes that music provides a meaningful connection with the dying child, and the death of a child should be with dignity and love. Her TEDx talk named Dying Young in the Arms of Music, moved many people to tears – an absolute must watch.
Lukas and Maggie share so many beautiful and heartfelt moments in this episode. They talk about the role of music as therapy, how music provides an opportunity to play, and honouring children and their families through music in their child’s last moments. Plus, so much more.
