Special Episode: Collective Stories from an End of Life Class

This episode, I attempt for the first time to combine seven unique stories into one! I am in a class on the subject of end of life, and for a class project asked my peers if anyone wanted to participate in the podcast. Here is the result. It's a beautiful collection of insights and experiences. I will post each separate story as an individual episode soon. Enjoy listening to Gemma, Jeff, Rosie, Peggy, Janette, and Celeste share their perspectives. Everyone took time out of busy schedules to meet virtually, in a time when screen fatigue is real. We hear thoughts ranging from the philosophical to the deeply personal; hear about babies not yet born, grandmothers cared for by daughters, and even wrestling with diagnosis that threaten the life of the storytellers themselves.

Thank you so much to my classmates for being willing to share their time, and to risk getting vulnerable with me. I feel closer to you having connected on this level. I look forward to revisiting and posting your unique individual story.
