Death is one of the few experiences every one of us will face, yet it remains one of the most difficult to talk about. When someone we love is dying, we’re often left navigating not only grief, but uncertainty—unsure of what to say, what to expect, or how to provide comfort in a moment that feels anything but clear. And yet, within that space, there can also be profound connection, meaning, and even moments of unexpected peace. Maureen Groden talks about care and coping at the end of life. Maureen is a hospice nurse, educator, and author of the book When a Loved One Is Dying: Conversations About Care, Connection, and Coping.
