Death is something we all have to face, yet most of us avoid talking about it—until we have no choice. But what if we approached it differently? What if we could embrace the inevitable in a way that brings peace, purpose, and even a sense of fulfillment?

Our guest today, Suzanne B. O’Brien, RN, has spent her career at the bedside of over 1,000 end-of-life patients as a hospice and oncology nurse. She is the Founder and CEO of Doulagivers Institute, and her work in end-of-life education has earned her recognition as a Humanitarian Ambassador by Oprah Magazine. In her new book, The Good Death: Supporting Your Loved One Through the End of Life, she shares what it truly means to have a “good death” and how we can prepare for it—both for ourselves and our loved ones.

If today was your last day, what would you regret? What’s missing? What’s left unsaid? The answers to these questions aren’t just about dying—they’re about truly living.
