A Nurse's Perspective on Life and Dying | Rachel Thomas

Rachel Thomas is a specialist mesothelioma nurse whose work has been defined by more than two decades of supporting people and families through serious illness, end of life care, and the hard realities most of us try not to face.In this episode of Life by Misadventure, Rachel talks about why so many people avoid talking about death, the fear families carry when time is short, and how honest conversations and good care can bring more peace than many expect.Rachel leaves you thinking about death in a different way, not as something only frightening or distant, but as part of life that becomes less terrifying when people are given truth, compassion, and room to talk.About the ShowLife by Misadventure is hosted by David Brown and features honest, engaging conversations with interesting people about life, loss, resilience, ideas, and the experiences that shape us.Connect with David on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/4dmbrown/Watch on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@lifebymisadventurepod/Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/life-by-misadventure/id1782077287Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6Z1MszCU19QglChFb11Pw2?si=98ab1a34db074b3d
