Podcasts about terminally ill

In this week's edition of the AmiSights Podcast, we talk to sociologist and entrepreneur Travis Luther. After selling two successful companies—including founding the MOSO Pillow—he now teaches entrepreneurs and leaders how to transform past trauma to create a prosperous future that's all their own. He discusses his career change and his fascinating research behind his keynote, “What We Learn When We Learn We Are Dying – Life Advice From the Terminally Ill.”“It was time for me to return to some other things I was interested in before, and do some things in the second half of my life that feel a little more aligned with who I am right now and what I thought I might accomplish,” he said. “The point of what I'm doing now is trying to get people again to realize that they have a right” to their own life.”In today's episode, we're exploring why the best business ideas often come from solving problems you've personally experienced, how entrepreneurship can offer a sense of control and empowerment for people who have been through trauma, and why getting stuck on the need for an instant solution can keep you from ever making real progress.Connect with Travis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travisluther/Check out MOSO Pillow: https://mosopillow.com/Recorded on 6/18/2025

On 29 November MPs debated the legislation and the outcome was 330 MPs voted in favour of the Bill and 275 MPs opposed it, allowing the legislation to proceed to the next parliamentary stage.The conversation doesn't explore arguments for and against allowing terminally ill people to end their own lives. What it does is examine the implications for social work practice that would arise if the legislation, in its current form were to become law. The discussion also examines the state of palliative care services in the UK as this is an issue closely linked to the debate around assisted dying. Hosted on Acast.

Oregon law allows psilocybin therapy in licensed service centers. But what if you’re too sick to go to one? Could a licensed psilocybin facilitator come to your home and provide therapeutic services for you there? Oregon law says no. But a group of facilitators are now fighting to change that. Science journalist Jane C. Hu has been following an effort by four licensed facilitators to expand access to psilocybin therapy in Oregon and she brings us more details about this fascinating story.   For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

I am really uncomfortable with MP's voting for State Suicide today. Do you really trust the self serving pigs of Westminster not to let the guidelines be relaxed? Was there any real need to change the law? One thing for sure is that five hours debate on a Friday was not enough time to discuss this vital subject. Transport Minister, Louise Haigh has resigned after it was revealed she is a convicted fraudster. The story is even more complicated as one has to question what did Starmer know about her past?

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on the initial approval on a bill for assisted dying in England and Wales.

The End of Life Bill being debated in UK parliament marks a historic moment for a country with one of the most punitive approaches to assisted dying people in the liberal world. But here at Media Storm, something confuses us about the debate now unfolding in the news, which is the distinctive lack of voices of people for whom the bill is actually designed. People who are terminally ill. So we bring you back an episode dedicated to platforming people who are dying and their loved ones. Theirs are the testimonies anyone refusing legal reform must answer to. The episode is hosted by Mathilda Mallinson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

“Live authentically, as much as possible, and as soon as possible.” This is the advice from entrepreneur Travis Luther, who joins Alex Raymond in this episode to explore the weighty themes of mortality, regret, and pursuing a life true to oneself. Having spent the past year interviewing terminally ill entrepreneurs, Travis brings forward the moving insights he's gathered on what truly matters when life's timeline suddenly feels finite. Reflecting on his own personal loss, he contrasts the difference between a life driven by passion and one on autopilot—a common struggle for entrepreneurs who often trade present joy for future security.   Travis and Alex dive into the regrets most commonly voiced by younger people unexpectedly confronted by mortality—health, personal fulfillment, and the need for real connections. What fears keep us from pursuing what we truly want? How much time are we willing to risk on things that don't matter? Travis challenges listeners to live intentionally, guided by what truly drives them. By sharing a glimpse into his upcoming book, “What We Learn When We Learn We're Dying,” he leaves us with a reminder: make choices today that you won't regret tomorrow.   Quotes “What is going on in your unlived life or on your unlived path? And if there's something that you can take away that's a universal truth that doesn't have anything to do with personal regret, it's this idea that the sooner we can bring our lived and unlived lives together, the sooner we can live as our authentic selves and in harmony, the happier we're gonna be.” (23:56 | Travis Luther) “When we disconnect ourselves from our mortality, we lose that sense of urgency that's necessary to also do the things that are going to be personally fulfilling to us, and to avoid the regret or the time spent not living as our authentic selves.” (27:07 | Travis Luther) “I think what people at the end of their lives realize is that the accomplishment itself is not the thing that releases that stress and anxiety and everything that's boiling inside of you. It is the lack of trying.” (31:32 | Travis Luther) “If I tried to consolidate all this information into one simple saying… it would be: live authentically, as much as possible, and as soon as possible.” (39:44 | Travis Luther)   Links Connect with Travis Luther: Website: https://travisluther.com/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://amplifyam.com/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

A Utah man, DeWayne McCulla, 46, pleaded guilty to attempted manslaughter after admitting he tried to kill his terminally ill wife, Arenda McCulla, 47, in an effort to "ease her suffering" during her battle with invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer. Arenda was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, which later spread to her neck, brain, lungs, and liver by October 2021. Despite undergoing multiple rounds of radiation, she suffered severe radiation burns causing open sores and blisters in her throat, making it impossible for her to eat. She was placed in hospice care at her home in La Verkin, a small town in southwest Utah. On December 20, 2021, while surrounded by six family members, DeWayne began choking Arenda. Family members had to pull him off as she gasped for air. Arenda passed away the following night due to her illness. Her son, Anthony Ryder, who had set up a GoFundMe page for her treatment, filed a police report in 2022 regarding DeWayne's actions, prompting an investigation. According to a probable cause affidavit, DeWayne admitted to attempting to end his wife's life to alleviate her suffering. "He said he put his face up against hers and put his one hand around her neck next to her carotid artery and pushed just hard enough to help her suffering and make her pass away quicker," detectives noted. Initially charged with attempted murder, DeWayne faced up to 15 years to life in prison. However, he accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to attempted manslaughter, a third-degree felony, now facing up to five years in state prison. His sentencing is scheduled for December 12. Anthony Ryder expressed opposition to the plea deal and plans to address the court during the sentencing hearing. "She didn't die with dignity," he told KSL in December.

Finding hope with terminal illness is possible! Dr. Debra Parker Oliver is the Ira Kodner Professor of Research in Supportive Care at Washington University. She has a Masters of Social Work and PhD in Rural Sociology from the University of Missouri. She was a hospice social worker and administrator in three hospice programs for a total of more than 20 years. After getting her doctorate she continued her commitment to the improvement of hospice care through research with more than 200 peer -reviewed articles related to palliative and hospice care. In an effort to teach and advocate for those facing cancer and terminal illness Debbie and her husband David created a blog to share their journey with others. In episode 475 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out why Dr. Oliver chose Missouri Western State University for her undergraduate experience, why she wanted to dedicate her life to hospice social work, how her husband David was able to tell all the people he loved that he had a terminal cancer illness, what is the right way to love someone through that grief experience, what are some strategies to find hope, how you can get doctors to listen to you, advice to college students who prefer to not think about death and dying, and what it was like to receive the Project Death in America Community Education Award from American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine care two weeks before David passed away.

If one has a close friend or family member who is gravely ill and enduring a great deal of suffering, and the physicians have determined that the patient cannot be cured, it is permissible, or proper, to pray that the patient should die so he does not suffer any longer? A possible Talmudic source for this kind of prayer is the story told in Masechet Ketubot (104) of the death of Rebbe (Rabbi Yehuda Ha'nasi). The Rabbi took ill, and all the Rabbis prayed on his behalf. Rebbe's maidservant went to the roof of the house and cried, "The upper worlds want Rebbe, and the lower worlds want Rebbe. May it be His will that the lower worlds prevail over the upper worlds." The maid went inside, and she noticed how terribly Rebbe was suffering. His illness forced him to make frequent trips to the restroom, causing him an inordinate amount of discomfort. The maid returned to the rooftop and cried, "May it be His will that the upper worlds prevail over the lower worlds." Once she saw Rebbe's suffering, it seems, she changed her prayer, and prayed that Rebbe should die. Seeing that Rebbe remained alive in the merit of the Rabbis' prayers, the maidservant threw a glass off the roof, and when it reached the ground and shattered, it made a loud, sudden noise that disrupted the Rabbis' prayers. At that moment, Rebbe died. The Ran (Rabbenu Nissim of Gerona, Spain, 1320-1380), in Masechet Nedarim, references this story, and draws proof from the maidservant's prayers that in certain situations, it is proper to pray that a patient should die. Specifically, the Ran explains, such a prayer is appropriate if there is no longer any possibility of the patient recovering, and the patient endures suffering because of his illness. On this basis, the Ran explains the Gemara's comment in Masechet Nedarim (40a) that visiting an ill patient is vitally important, because if one does not visit the patient, then he "does not pray for him – neither that he should live, nor that he should die." The Ran explains that one of the purposes of visiting the sick is to observe the patient's condition firsthand so he will be aroused to pray. Sometimes, he will be aroused to pray that the patient should live, and in other occasions, he will be aroused to pray that the patient should die. Specifically, as in the case of Rebbe's maidservant, if one sees that the patient cannot be cured, and endures suffering, he should pray for the patient's life to end so he will not suffer any longer. A different view is presented by the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in his Ben Yehoyada commentary to the Talmud (Masechet Ketubot). He explains that the maidservant made these pronouncements not as prayers to G-d, but rather to relay to the Rabbis information about Rebbe's condition. As she tended to the Rabbi's needs, she knew about his condition and wished to convey the latest information to Rebbe's colleagues. When she saw that Rebbe was suffering, she announced to the Rabbis that the time had come for the "upper worlds to triumph over the lower worlds" – meaning, that Rebbe should die. She was telling the Rabbis that they should stop praying, because their prayers were prolonging Rebbe's suffering. According to the Ben Ish Hai, then, one should not pray for a terminally ill patient to die, but one should instead stop praying for the patient to live, once the situation is such that the prayers would just be prolonging the patient's suffering. This is in contrast to the view of the Ran, who ruled that one may actually pray for the patient to die in such a case. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Russia-New York, 1895-1986), in Iggerot Moshe (Hoshen Mishpat 2:75), posits that even according to the Ran, this Halacha is extremely limited in scope. The Ran stated that one may pray for a patient to die only once it is certain that the patient will not recover. Apparently, Rav Moshe explained, Rebbe's maidservant – who was known to be an especially righteous woman – had a unique power of prayer, and she sensed in this situation that her prayers would be ineffective and Rebbe would not survive. In such a case, the Ran maintains, it is appropriate to pray that a patient should die to avoid further suffering. In the vast majority of situations, however, we have no way of conclusively determining whether or not a patient will survive, and so such a prayer would not be appropriate. Others, however, disagree, and maintain that just as we rely on doctors' medical assessments in other areas of Halacha, such as when a patient should be fed on Yom Kippur, or driven to a hospital on Shabbat, we likewise rely on doctors' assessments in this regard, as well. Accordingly, the Aruch Ha'shulhan (Rav Yechiel Michel Epstein of Nevarduk, 1829-1908), in Yoreh De'a (335:3), accepts the Ran's view as practical Halacha, ruling that if a patient is suffering and it is certain that he will not recover, one should pray for him to die. A third view is presented by Rav Moshe Sternbuch (contemporary), in his Teshubot Ve'hanhagot. He tells that Rav Shmuel Rozovsky (1913-1979), the great Rosh Yeshiva of Ponevezh, was very ill and endured terrible pain. A disciple visited him, and Rav Rozovsky asked the student to pray "that the Almighty shall spare me from suffering – either that I should leave, or that the suffering should leave." In other words, the appropriate prayer to recite in such a situation is that the patient should no longer suffer, and that G-d would decide how this should be achieved – either through the patient's recovery, or through the patient's passing. This is reminiscent of the story told of a certain Lubavitcher Hasid who, like many Rabbis in Lubavitch, was sent by the Lubavitcher Rebbe (Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson, 1902-1994) to a remote location to help facilitate religious life, but he had a very difficult time. The conditions were so harsh that this Rabbi endured poverty and poor health. Finally, after a number of years, he sent a letter to the Rebbe asking if he could be relieved of his mission, which was causing him great suffering. The Rebbe wrote a letter back to the Rabbi saying, "Every person who comes into this world has a purpose to fulfill. Your purpose is this mission that I sent you on. Instead of asking to be relieved of your mission, you should be asked to be relieved of your suffering." The Rabbi heeded the Rebbe's advice, and decided to remain. With time, the condition improved, he was very successful. In a similar vein, when a terminally ill patient is suffering, according to Rav Sternbuch, the appropriate response is to pray that the suffering should end, in the manner in which G-d sees fit. It is not for us to decide how the suffering to end; we should simply beseech G-d that it should end quickly in the way which G-d decides. It would seem that this is, indeed, the best approach to take in such a situation. Summary: According to some opinions, it is permissible, and even appropriate, to pray that an ill patient should die if the doctors have determined that he cannot be cured and he is enduring great suffering. However, the preferred practice in this unfortunate circumstance is to simply pray to G-d for the patient's suffering to end, in the manner which G-d decides is best for the patient.

Ohlheiser, a senior technology reporter and editor at Vox, who recently wrote about the complicated lives and deaths of TikTok's illness influencers. As Ohlheiser wrote, “These stories — whether held in an archive of personal letters, a widely discussed lecture, or on the For You pages of millions — are all shaped by the expectations of the ‘well.' Turning sickness into content can get views. And just like any content, not all people, or illnesses, have an equal chance of going viral.” But first, Candice fills Rachelle in on what she's missed online during her time off.

  On this episode, we talk with Dr. Kathy Hull, who is a true hero. She is the founder of the George Mark Children's House (http://georgemark.org), the first freestanding children's palliative care facility to open in the United States. The subject of death is taboo, especially with children, but as Dr. Hull says, "children don't stop dying just because we the adults can't comprehend the injustice of losing them".
