“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” - Benjamin Franklin

“Death smiles at us all; all a man can do is smile back.” - Russell Crowe (Maximus) in Gladiator

While death is a certainty for all of us, we rarely talk about it for fear of facing our own mortality or being called morbid.  We’d rather not think about it, thank you very much.  In this episode, we talk with a licensed hospice nurse about the dying process, how it includes the patient but so many others who are left behind to grieve. We discuss what hospice entails, and that the role of a hospice nurse is not “simply changing bed pans and administering morphine,” but instead involves complex spiritual and emotional support for patients and their loved ones and coming alongside families during the final journey.  Dianna Sawyer talks candidly with us about being drawn to hospice and leaving a successful career in marketing to be part of one of the most important events of a person’s life - leaving this world.  

In this episode: 

What hospice is (and isn’t)

Complex family dynamics when someone is dying

How to care for yourself when someone you love is dying

Respecting wishes and making advanced wishes of your own

Re-imagining the “perfect” goodbye

How the most beautiful gift is a plan

Health proxies

Resources for patients and family members
