Biography

"Mary Pocock was an artist, photographer and teacher who lived for 12 years in what she called “the dying process.” Doctors called her condition palliative. Mary insisted on living. In the last months of her life, she borrowed a video camera from filmmaker friends to record what she’d learned about the difference between the agony of death and the art of dying. Her candid words about hopes and fears are a gift of accessible wisdom. Mary had breast cancer. She was 52 when she died."
