A proposito di questo titolo

Presented by palliative and bereavement health care professionals Julie Brown, Red Keating and David Kennedy. Dying is one of the few experiences we will all share, yet little is done in our culture to prepare us for this inevitability and it's resulting bereavement and grief. Drawing on their vast knowledge and experience each episode is a conversation meant to enlighten and demystify the often difficult and emotional experiences of dying, death and bereavement. Presented in partnership with Hospice Peterborough.

    S4E9: The Written Word 3.0
    Jan 28 2026

    In this returning episode of The Written Word, the co-hosts revisit a familiar and much-loved format—this time in conversation with Dr Natalie Whiting. Having explored the power of the written word together before, they now welcome Natalie, a palliative physician, to share some of her own writing and reflections from the edges of lived experience.

    Together, they explore how poetry and lyrics can speak where ordinary language falters. When life becomes too complex or tender to explain, the written word can gesture toward the ineffable—offering resonance rather than resolution. This episode invites listeners to pause, listen, and consider how words can hold what cannot be neatly spoken.

    Jan 14 2026

    In this podcast we are delighted to welcome Dr Jan Hux, a retired physician and past CEO of Diabetes Canada. Jan’s husband Edwin died in 2020 and she shares with us her journey of grief as a widow. Jan reflects on the past 5 years and candidly explores the challenges of spousal death and the transition to a life in which Edwin is physically absent. She shares with clarity some of the surprises, both difficult and healing that she encountered along the way. What shines through is the genuine love Jan and Edwin shared, and still do.

  • S4E7: A Compassionate Friend for the Holidays

    S4E7: A Compassionate Friend for the Holidays
    Dec 10 2025

    As the What Now? podcast closes out 2025, the hosts are offering a compassionate tool for the season.

    Recognizing that the holidays can carry many experiences, Julie guides a “compassionate friend” meditation for listeners who may be grieving, feeling alone, or needing extra support as we navigate the holidays. This practice is an invitation to pause, breathe, and receive kindness—imagining a wise, loving presence who sits with you in whatever you're carrying. In a season that can feel dark or overwhelming, may this meditation be a way for light to gently pierce through and remind you that you are held, seen, and not alone.
