Beautiful story telling. Nuanced and thoughtful writing. Top notch production values. And most importantly heartfelt and sincere. Bravo.
Apple Podcasts5Benny KintUnited States2 months ago - Podcast very good. But PLEASE NOTE:
Doctor told her father about assisted death because “men like to be in control” I don’t have the words - Extraordinarily reprehensible, at least!!!!!!!! Sexist, to start - but, really playing God based on gender stereotypes. I hope he reads this and recognizes this (ahem) fatal flaw.

What a beautiful life changing podcast! My son is a nurse and I shared this with him. You have given us the opportunity to think about what we would like in our dying, things we might need to think about when a loved one is dying and so many beautiful things before we go! Thank you!
