Podcasts about end of life

(Episode description by podcast producer, Sue Duffield) “Today's episode goes much deeper than just a story about host Mary Anne Oglesby-Sutherly's sister, Doris. Her heart-felt words will throttle the listener into a Netflix-like mini-series of hope, despair, miracles and over-the-top depth of secrets revealed. Mary Anne is at her finest here, but it took everything she had to disclose the family secret, all while her sister Doris transitioned into the after-life. You will find great compassion and understanding as to why Mary Anne is a soldier for the kingdom of caregiving. She searched her whole life to find the missing piece of the puzzle, only to realize that God in His infinite timing would sweep her into a week of miracles.” www.verandaministries.org

Let's be real—this isn't your typical Visibly Fit episode. But it's one you absolutely need to hear.This week, I sat down with author and speaker Hattie Bryant, and we delved into a conversation that many people avoid: how to die well. Not in fear, not in confusion, and certainly not in a hospital bed hooked up to unnecessary machines—but with peace, dignity, and purpose.Hattie shares her powerful personal story of helping her mother transition from this life with grace and how that moment shaped everything she does today. We talked about the heartbreaking reality of modern medicine's grip on end-of-life care, why many Christians are afraid of heaven, and how we can prepare both practically and spiritually to leave this world well.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of death, if you've watched someone you love suffer needlessly, or if you want to know how to take the pressure off your family when that day comes, you're going to want to tune in.This conversation is packed with encouragement, biblical insight, and practical instruction. It will challenge you, inspire you, and prepare you—not just for death, but for living more intentionally now.Chapters:[00:00] Podcast Preview[00:50] Podcast Introduction[01:30] Topic and Guest Introduction[05:02] Hattie's Book “I'll Have It God's Way”[07:50] Hattie's Mother's Tragic Stroke Story[11:19] “Everybody Needs A Hattie” Moment[15:35] Why Most Christians Fear Death[19:17] Voluntary Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)[21:07] Letting God Lead the End-of-Life Process[26:16] Preparing for the Inevitable[30:32] Choosing the Right Healthcare Proxy[33:25] Facing Mortality and Embracing Faith[40:20] The Deception of Comfort[42:30] Dying People Know But Loved Ones Can't Let Go[44:09] Questions To Ask Your Doctor[47:50] Understanding Life Choices and Eternal Perspectives[50:17] Resources and ConclusionResources mentioned:Grab Hattie's book: I'll Have It God's WayLearn more at: authorhattiebryant.comFREE VISIBLY FIT™ in 7 DAYS Workout & Meal PlanVisibly Fit 7-Week Accelerator ProgramConnect with today's guest:Hattie Bryant is a remarkable voice in navigating serious illness and end-of-life decisions with grace, clarity, and unshakable faith.

The General Medical Council (GMC) says that patients should be considered to be ‘approaching the end of life' when they are likely to die within the next 12 months, adding that one of the most challenging decisions — for healthcare professionals and patients — is when/if to withdraw life-prolonging treatment.In this episode of the Clinical Update, the MIMS Learning team explores how to identify when a patient is entering into the last stages of their life and what the role of the GP is in supporting them.

Hey Diva listeners—this episode marks our one-year anniversary! Thank you all so much for being part of that and for all your support and kind words! In Episode 19, I'm chatting with Kat Kurner, an end-of-life guide and somatic practitioner. At age seven, Kat's Cherokee grandfather told her she had healing hands and would work some day as a healer. While it took her some time to manifest that vision, it has definitely come true today. Kat describes her extensive experience with psychedelic medicines, starting with a vision quest with mushrooms when she was 13, her many peyote circle experiences with the Native American Church, and her shift to end-of-life care and spiritual healing with psylocibin. We also dive into the ethical responsibilities of psychedelic practitioners, emphasizing the need for both personal growth and professional training in this evolving field. In addition, we explore the Decrim Nature movement, the importance of community-based healing, the potential for integrating psychedelic practices into mainstream medicine, and the essential role of the divine feminine in guiding this transformative work. Thank you so much for being part of this collective journey—I so appreciate your support.

Illinois lawmakers have moved a step closer to legalizing physician-assisted end-of-life options. The House approved the measure late Thursday, with 63 votes in favor and 42 opposed. Eleven members did not cast a vote, and two voted present. Representative Travis Weaver of Edwards County spoke out strongly against the proposal before the final vote. Earlier attempts to pass similar bills stalled this year, but sponsors revived the measure by attaching its language to Senate Bill 1950. Now, the amended bill returns to the Senate. If senators agree, Illinois will become the twelfth state to authorize medical aid in dying.
