In Part 2 of this two-part episode, hosts Denise Donlon and John Monahan continue exploring the tender and difficult conversations that come with the end of life. They sit down with Dr. Kathy Kortes-Miller, author of Talking About Death Won’t Kill You, to discuss how to guide loved ones, navigate fears and unfinished business, and maintain hope and connection even in life’s final days. Drawing on real-life stories—from pre-death rituals to conversations with children—Kathy offers practical guidance for listening, supporting, and creating meaningful moments. This conversation is a compassionate reminder that talking about death can deepen relationships and bring clarity, presence, and peace.Links & ResourcesVisit the Mount Pleasant Group website for more information and resources.Talking About Death Won’t Kill You: The Essential Guide to End-Of-Life Conversations by Dr. Kathy Kortes MillerHope For The Best, Plan For The Rest by Hsien Seow and Dr. Sammy WinemakerPlease note that the opinions expressed by the hosts and guests are their own and do not necessarily represent the views or beliefs of Mount Pleasant Group.
