The Waiting Room Revolution

I work in the hospice community. I think it is so important what you are doing. This society is death phobic and grief illiterate. It’s so upsetting because it is costing lives and quality to end of lives. I have seen it through friends of friends and with the people I work with. I wish so much everyone could have an end of life doula. It makes me frustrated how health care treats life limiting conditions. I live in Ontario and I wish so much people were talking about home care and how it has suffered since pandemic. And how there isn’t enough healthcare providers to meet everyone’s needs. Thank you for starting the conversation that we need. Keep screaming and gathering resources, what you are doing is helping so many people have better end of life.

I was 30 when my mother passed from cancer in hospice care - and it was the best experience for her and our family. We were learning by experience and it took years to wrap our heads’ around her passing. Beautiful interviews and such wonderful conversations!! I too have become so impassioned about sharing what death and dying are really like. Thank you for your candid and meaningful discussions Hsien and Sammy!

I binged the first season of this in a week. It was so practical and easy to listen to despite the challenging subject matter. I lost a spouse over 10 years ago to pancreatic cancer and had an amazing team to support me- so many of the helpful hints I picked up over that long journey with cancer are embedded into this podcast. Well done Hsien and Sammy!!

Just started listening and listening about the first key. What is being said resonates with me as a patient with what was a life threatening condition, and also with multiple chronic conditions. I am looking forward to learning more as I listen along! Well done!
