The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hi, I'm Wendy.

And I'm Jess, and you're listening to the Food Heaven Podcast.

Your online resource for inclusive and accessible wellness.

Hey everyone! I hope you guys are all holding up okay with everything that's going on.

Have you been doing Wendy?

I'm doing okay. I'm really excited about today's episode because I think it's really going to resonate

with a lot of our listeners. I mean, we already recorded and I'm just thinking back on everything

that we covered. I learned so, so much from our guests. And yeah, I'm just really happy that we're

diving into this topic.

So the topic, as you probably saw, is death and grief. We're going to be talking with my BFF,

my best friend Ashley. She is a registered nurse based in California.

She has experience in public health. She's also been a champion for palliative care,

which we'll talk about what exactly that is. She breaks it all down.

And those end-of-life discussions that can be really complex to have with our loved ones.

Even if someone isn't actively dying, like having those conversations beforehand,

we realize there's a lot that we don't know about our close family members in terms of how

they would want their death to be handled, how they'd want the dying process handled.

And the reason we also really wanted to talk with Ashley is because she is still dealing with

the loss of her mother that was 18 months ago. And so she has like this not only professional

experience with all of this, but also a personal connection with death, dying, and grieving as well.

So in this episode, we're going to talk about Ashley's experience with death and grief.
