In this episode of Honor Talk, host Bobby Gomez sits down with author Ivan Sampson to discuss his upcoming book—a heartfelt and practical guide for families navigating grief and preparing for life’s most difficult moments. Scheduled for release in late October 2025, the book offers families a roadmap for understanding loss, documenting their wishes, and finding comfort in clarity when health declines or decisions become overwhelming.

Drawing from his experience as an organ donation specialist, Bobby explores how Ivan’s work empowers loved ones to have the conversations we often avoid until it’s too late. Together, they discuss the power of preparation, the healing that comes from shared understanding, and the ways love continues to speak—even when we can’t.

This episode is for anyone who’s faced loss, works in healthcare, or wants to ensure their wishes—and their heart—are honored with grace, dignity, and love.
