There is a Crack in Everything, That's how the Light Gets In. Episode 8 takes us to the coal face of death with palliative care nurse and educator Emily Fyfe and we leave no stone unturned as we examine the actualities of death. We talk about difficult deaths, good deaths, complex deaths and how all this effects the dying person and their families. What things cause the dying the most anxiety? Should children be included or excluded from the dying process? Emily explains medical terms, demystifies the language of death and talks about the drugs used to relieve pain, agitation and anxiety. But first its the acting CEO of Hospice Waikato Susan Hassall. I was preparing to interview her about an unrelated matter when we started talking about grief. Fortunately I had the presence of mind to turn the recorder on and as Susan spoke about the loss of her husband James, she offered insight, wisdom, perspective and hope. Hospice Waikato, in association with Free FM, presents The Last Breath – A Podcast About Death And Dying.
