End of Life Rounds

What End-of-Life Care Really Looks Like

This episode goes deeper into a part of end-of-life care that few people truly understand, the medical and logistical side of medical aid in dying. With Dr. Jessica Lucey, we explore how the medications are prescribed and prepared, and what the experience actually looks like for patients and families. We talk about timing, access, support systems, and the very real challenges people face, not just medically, but emotionally and logistically. Because at the end of the day, it is not just about the medication, it is about how we support someone through one of the most personal decisions of their life. At Golden Gate Hospice Care, we believe in making this process more understood, more supported, and more human.

Rebranding Death: Turning Fear into Presence

What if we changed the way we see death? In this episode of End of Life Rounds, we sit down with Mary Telliano to explore the idea of “rebranding death”—bringing open conversations, awareness, and presence into the end-of-life experience. We talk about: * Normalizing conversations around death and dying * The role of breath, sound, and presence at the bedside * What an end-of-life doula really does * Complementary approaches like somatic practices and alternative therapies * The emotional impact of initiatives like the Threshold Choir A powerful and human conversation that invites us to see death differently… with more understanding, connection, and peace. This episode is created in collaboration with Golden Gate Hospice Care, helping bring more awareness and support to end-of-life care.
