Marianne as a Guest on Death and Dying in the Digital Age
How Do We talk about End of Life?
Being a guest on the Digital Legacy Podcast with Niki was truly an interesting experience. Given our work at Everyone Dies, I always enjoy the opportunity to discuss end-of-life topics with other people invested in increasing understanding and preparation about advance care planning. Talking about death isn’t easy, but Niki approached it with warmth, curiosity, and a genuine desire to educate. We explored the nuances between hospice and palliative care, why families struggle with end-of-life decisions, and how essential advance directives are in ensuring dignity in one’s final moments.
Sharing the Work Do We Do at Everyone Dies
We also discussed the work I do through Everyone Dies, my nonprofit and podcast, which serves as a resource for those navigating serious illness, death, and bereavement. I encourage everyone to take the time to prepare—have the hard conversations, document your wishes, and ensure your loved ones are not left making difficult decisions in uncertainty.
How to Catch the Interview
If you missed the episode, I highly recommend watching it on YouTube. It’s a conversation that can help reshape how we think about life’s final chapter. Thank you, Niki, for the opportunity to share this important message.
