In this second conversation with author and hospice volunteer Chris Palmer, we move beyond preparation and into the lived reality of the dying process. What support is needed? Who should be on your team? How do advance directives, healthcare agents, and different forms of care — palliative, hospice, and doulas — shape the experience for both patients and families.

Thankfully, you are not at this stage and likely won’t be for some years, but some of us have parents who are nearing it. This show is about how to maintain dignity, control, and meaning  for you and for your loved one during life’s final stage. 

This episode also shines a light on the hidden labor of caregiving and the emotional questions that surface as life draws to a close.

A compassionate, honest conversation about how we can face the end not with fear alone, but with clarity, preparation, and support.
