What can we learn about living from those who are dying? In this powerful episode, hospice nurse Hadley shares raw stories and wisdom from her patients at the end of life—reminding us how fragile and beautiful life really is.

As a registered nurse specializing in hospice and palliative care near New Orleans, Hadley brings inspiring insights on:

  • The lessons patients teach when facing death
  • How to stay positive while working so close to loss every day
  • The importance of connecting those who have lived full lives with those still learning how to live
  • Why embracing mortality helps us live more fully
  • Through her work, Hadley shows that hospice is not just about dying—it’s about helping us all understand how to live better.

    About DEAD Talks


      DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
