On this week's Tuesday People podcast, host Mitch Albom explores the emotional complexity of a loved one’s quiet exit—when those nearing the end choose not to share their diagnosis or impending passing with others. Inspired by lessons from Morrie Schwartz, Mitch reflects on what it means to respect someone’s personal journey, even when it leaves survivors grappling with unanswered questions. “It’s difficult to control the size of a secret,” Albom says, reminding us that while there’s no single equation for how to die, sometimes the illness itself changes the math. Join us for a conversation about dignity, closure, and the grace required to honor someone else's choice—even when it hurts.
