Episode 2 Death is for the Living

What if death is not the enemy we have been taught to fear?   In this episode, Susan Ten-Kate explores a simple but profound idea: death is for the living. Drawing on nearly four decades of nursing experience, she reflects on the lessons learned from those approaching the end of life and how an awareness of mortality can help us live with greater purpose, presence, gratitude, and intention.   Through honest conversation and gentle reflection, Susan invites listeners to consider death literacy, grief, caregiving, aging, and end-of-life realities—not as topics to avoid, but as opportunities to better understand what it means to be fully alive.
