In this episode of Dying to Tell You: The Caring Perspective, (E07) Cody interviews his long-time friend Garrett Price about his journey from chaplaincy to becoming a licensed professional counselor specializing in trauma, grief, and loss.

Garrett shares a touching story about his time as a hospice chaplain, including his experience with a terminal patient we’ll call Doug. It reveals the powerful human connections formed in end-of-life care and the lessons learned through compassion and deep listening. More than anything, this episode emphasizes the role of chaplains in providing non-judgmental, authentic care and discusses the importance of embracing and understanding challenging emotions.

Garrett is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho whose calling to help others emerged in his early 20s while caring for his dying grandmother. This profound experience sparked a desire to learn about care, leading him to train as a minister and work with youth.
