Think Mister Rogers (as a Ms/Dr) creates a podcast on Death

About 
Dying to Talk

Welcome. We are so glad you are HERE. Please make yourself comfortable as you get ready to tune into a new podcast talking with people intimate with navigating the terrain of serious illness, death and grief.  

 

As a hospice and palliative medicine physician, many people assume I am the grim reaper. I see myself much more like a fairy godmother. It’s just that I’ve learned that while following in the shadow of death something remarkable becomes illuminated. Death reminds us what matters most. What is essential comes into sharp focus. Each true story you hear sheds light on who and what we love, opening the door to conversations about our shared humanity. Think of this space as your space. A safe space to explore, ask questions and hear stories about people finding their way.

 

Together we are creating a world where Communicating Love is at the heart of even the most challenging conversations. 

 

We’ll be sharing resources where you can turn to for support because you and I, we’re only human, and talking about death can be uncomfortable. 

So know you are not alone.
