Episode Opener - Holding Space for Death with Stephanie Murray

Episode released date: Thursday, March 28th

Reducing suffering is a deep, innermost urge as a human. To be able to end needless suffering, that is a gift, one we’d want for our loved ones, and one our loved ones would want for us.

Today’s guest, Stephanie Murray, is a Volunteer Client Adviser with End of Life Washington, and she provides that gift for the terminally ill and their loved ones.

When it comes to planning, it makes sense to work with someone who has both the knowledge to build a plan, and the experience to know how to address when the plan goes sideways. A combination of expertise and improv. Those two things are what Stephanie draws upon. And for her clients, it’s the last plan that they will make.

It’s one that gives them one last bit of control when they are losing all remnants of control.
My favorite quote from the episode: “People say there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. You can avoid taxes.”
