After her husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, went through treatment, and eventually lost him, Lori LoCicero found support in Lisa Pahl, a hospice social worker who helped her navigate through grief, acceptance, and the hard questions about death. 

Their conversations about dying brought The Death Deck to life, a card game about questions and icebreakers about beliefs, preferences, and feelings about death.

In this episode, we talk about the uncomfortable thought about the end of life and turn it into a death positive movement to help open your mind and start a deeper conversation with your loved ones about death. We also discuss hospice care and services in the US, grief support groups, and finding peace in death talks and death planning.

Death is inevitable yet it should be discussed more often than not. If you want to find familiarity, comfort, and curiosity in this unconventional topic, this episode is for you.
