the unbearable tenderness of loving mortal beings

We resist death not because  we are weak...but because we love In this episode of Death Is for the Living, Susan Ten-Kate explores the tension between our desire to hold on and the reality that all lives eventually come to an end. Drawing on her experience as a nurse, she reflects on grief, attachment, caregiving, mortality, and the profound ways love shapes our experience of loss.   Through stories and reflection, this conversation invites listeners to consider how accepting death’s place in the human experience can deepen compassion, strengthen relationships, and help us live with greater presence and appreciation for the time we share with one another.
