About this episode
TW: Today’s episode covers death.
What is a good death and is it important?
In my work I see examples of good and bad deaths depending on how it is perceived by those who bear witness to it and those left behind.
I discuss whether death planning is something we should talk about more as a society as death is an inevitable part of life.
