On this episode of The AUXORO Podcast, Hadley Vlahos and Zach discuss Hadley's work as a hospice nurse and what it's like to be there for life's final moments, what makes for a good death, the most common regrets of the dying, patients on their deathbed seeing deceased loved ones, how one of Hadley's patients with Alzheimer's saved her husband's life, how Hadley overcame an eating disorder and learned how to "eat the cake," whether or not an afterlife exists, why the best time to have a funeral is when you're still alive, and more.
