Episode Description

TW: Today’s episode covers death.

What is a good death and is it important?

In my work I see examples of good and bad deaths depending on how it is perceived by those who bear witness to it and those left behind.

I discuss whether death planning is something we should talk about more as a society as death is an inevitable part of life.
