Living With...the End in Mind

The Covid 19 pandemic has upended our lives. People are getting sick and many are dying. Beyond the upheaval of everyday living, the virus is shining a bright, harsh light on our mortality. 
In this special series of conversations, we talk about planning for the end of life with advance care directives but also explore the larger questions around living and dying. 
Kate Bowler, who is no stranger to the fear and uncertainty around life threatening illness, is the guest in this first episode. The New York Times best selling author/professor and podcaster talks with Cathy Wurzer about the fragility of life and our future deaths.

You often hear politicians promising they'll fight for constituents if they get to the statehouse or Capitol Hill but what happens when the fight isn't over politics or policy... it's a life or death battle with cancer being the foe.  
In this episode of "Living With...The End in Mind", host Cathy Wurzer talks with former Minnesota United States Senator Norm Coleman about his multiple year battle with cancer and how it has focused his life.

If you were diagnosed with a potentially fatal illness, what would you do? How would you live?

Los Angeles based actress and model Grace Wethor was faced with those questions when she was just 13 years old. Grace was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor. Surgery isn't an option and this type of cancer doesn't respond well to chemotherapy or radiation. Grace and her mother decided she needed to follow her dream, which led them to L.A. The now 18 year old is thriving in spite of cancer.

Grace talks about her life with journalist and host Cathy Wurzer in this premiere episode of "Living With..." from the End in Mind Project. http://www.endinmindproject.org
