About this episode
Chadd sits down with hospice nurse and author Penny (Influencing Death) to demystify end‑of‑life care. They cover the difference between hospice and palliative care, natural vs. medicalized death, practical guidance for families (medications, food/fluids, smoking, when to call hospice) and how to choose a hospice provider. The conversation also explores emotional and spiritual impacts—acceptance, forgiveness, joy and legacy work—plus vivid deathbed stories, the phenomenon of deathbed visions and the debate around DMT and other “woo‑woo” moments near death. Real patient examples (including personal stories about Mr. Don) illustrate what to expect and how to support a loved one. Penny shares her journey from late‑in‑life nursing school to over a thousand hospice deaths, offers resources for families, and explains how talking about death eases anxiety. Guests and listeners will leave with compassionate, practical tools and a hopeful perspective on dying.
