This conversation left me with A LOT to contemplate, as I’m sure it will for you too.\nSubscribe for weekly episodes, every Tuesday, and check out my YouTube channel (link below) for daily clips and weekly reflections.\nRunning Order: \n01:23 Podcast Begins\n02:16 Inquiry with death begins\n04:46 Difficulties with talking about death\n08:14 Repression of emotions\n09:45 Picturing yourself on your own death bed\n11:38 It’s ok to have regrets with the dying\n16:21 Moments of beauty in sadness\n20:23 You can’t fix death or make it better, just be there for people\n22:55 There are many moments of loss in life\n25:43 Prolonging of life\n28:55 Magical moments in death\n34:00 How the experience of birth led to deathcare\n39:25 The effect of working with a dead body\n42:07 Bringing the conservation around death to a wider audience\n45:28 What is a good death?\n48:42 What is a good life for Charlotte?\n\nFor further content and information check out the following: \n- For the podcast's...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
