		<itunes:summary>Charles Corr Ph.D. is an educator and pioneer in the field of Death and Dying.  He has volunteered in both British and America hospice 
programs and a local chapter of The Compassionate Friends.  Much of what he has learned in this field came from lessons shared with him by dying and bereaved family members and professionals who were caring for them.  His most recent book is Childrenrsquo;s Encounters With Death, Bereavement, and Coping, co-edited with David Balk.
