Imagine a world where people were able to talk about death and dying openly and without fear.  Our guest today, Nurse Penny Hawkins Smith is doing just that.  Nurse Penny uses social media channels and her recent book, “Influencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living” to talk openly about death and dying without fear, thus encouraging others to do the same.  We’re excited that Nurse Penny will be our keynote speaker for our Annual Volunteer and Staff Training in San Antonio, Texas on Saturday, September 20, 2025.  Send us a message at info@abodehome.org for ticket information.
