Episode 5: Why Is It So Hard To Talk about Death and Dying?

6 Months or Less

In this episode, I ask a doctor, a medical ethicist, social workers, as well as family, friends, and old coworkers about why it is so hard for us to talk about death and dying. I also share conversations I have had with my young son about the coronavirus and death and dying, and I share some exciting news from my own life.

Thanks to my friends and family for exploring difficult questions with me, and to my son for his uninhibited curiosity and sense of wonder.
