In the second in our series on care, we’re talking about care at the end of life. It’s not just dying that is hard, it’s not just the prospect of death… it’s the recognition of it. It’s the conversation around it, which is often no conversation at all. In this episode, we’re having that conversation with Dr. Sunita Puri.

If you want to have a conversation about this with us, go here for information on an upcoming workshop.

You know how every day someone asks “how are you?” And even if you’re totally dying inside, you just say “fine,” so everyone can go about their day? This show is the opposite of that. Hosted by author (It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too)) and notable widow (her words) Nora McInerny, this is a funny/sad/uncomfortable podcast about talking honestly about our pain, our awkwardness, and our humanness, which is not an actual word.
