Welcome to Season 12. We are so happy you’re back and if you’re joining us for the first time, welcome in.

This season, our stories are all being shared from the spouses perspective and we are so honored to welcome our first guest, Catherine.

Listening to the story of Al, Catherine's late husband, we were able to explore aspects of aggravation, hard decisions, and vulnerable topics (we discuss what it feels like to grieve “lightly,” - powerful stuff!) This episode was told with a steady undercurrent of love and compassion. Take a listen!

A big thank you to our listeners, our supporters, our Patreons and our guests.

Today we talk about 'the end' - our experiences, our fears + how peaceful it ended up being. We call in our friend Katie Duncan, nurse practitioner, educator and founder of Death Care Coach. and she so gently explains what happens to the body in the final days, hours + minutes. And above all letting us know that the body knows exactly what to do.

Help us de-stigmatize the conversation around death and dying by sharing this episode.
