BRAVE LISTENING
Inviting others to say what we might not want to hear
by Maya Scott, MSW

One of the most poignant memories social worker and palliative care advocate Maya Scott has of her young daughter is when she told her parents she wanted no further medical treatment for her terminal condition. This wisdom, from a child who was not yet six, reminds us that patients often know their wishes towards the end of their lives; it’s the rest of us who must be strong enough to listen.

Take 10 is an experience focused on finding solace, building solidarity and sharing solutions when it comes to serious illness, caregiving and end of life. If there’s one thing we hope you take away from this experience, it's the invitation to create the narrative of your life through to its end. May you find comfort and joy in the process of digging into what it means to embrace the good, the bad, and the messy about the gift of being alive!

Maya Scott, MSW, is a bereaved mother, palliative care consultant and ethicist currently practicing at Seattle’s Children’s Hospital. Maya has worked as a grief therapist providing culturally responsive outreach and therapeutic care with a focus on individuals and families from historically marginalized communities.
