Easy for you to say!
"We are all going to die one day", yet it can feel awkward to speak about this truth. It can be even harder when you or the person you speak to have a life limiting illness such as cancer.
In this episode we talk about the language used to speak about terminal illness and death. We talk about our language likes and dislikes and the worst and kindest things people have said to us.
We don't tell you what to say because each person will have their own way they prefer to talk about their experience. Instead we encourage everybody keep talking about life and death because that is how we make connections with each other... and good relationships matter A LOT when a person lives with terminal cancer.
Disclaimer: This podcast is about life and death, with regular swearing and humour. The content is about our experience; we do not speak for everybody in the community. We do not give medical advice so if in doubt, check it out!
