Description

We are all born with an expiration date. Palliative Care Chaplain Cody Hufstedler sits down with people who are living with serious illness for intimate, one-on-one conversations that explore the challenges, insights and, yes, joys of facing mortality. Far from morbid, these episodes dealing with hospice, healthcare, end-of-life, illness, and death are deeply alive explorations of life’s greatest mysteries and windows into the wonderful, human richness of living.
