Palliative Care Chaplain Cody Hufstedler knows how difficult it can be for us all to acknowledge—much less talk about—the fact that we’re all born with an expiration date. He has helped countless terminally ill patients and their loved ones work through this most challenging of life’s realities.

What he’s discovered over the years is the understanding, comfort, even joy that can come through intentionally facing our finish line. Not just for those who are fast approaching it, but for everyone young or old, sick or healthy.

Cody began this podcast as a way to share these endearing and lovely stories of life, death, and dying. Far from morbid, these episodes are deeply alive explorations of life’s greatest mysteries and windows into the wonderful, human richness of living.

    When Cia beat breast cancer 12 years ago, she had no idea it could come back, this time in the form of angiosarcoma. Cia is equally fierce in her love and in her determination to do whatever she can to spend the most time possible with her family, and make memories that can endure beyond the time she has left.

For the past nine years, Jessica has cared for her and documented their journey through Career & Caregiving Collide™. Her story is one of deep family commitment in the face of illness and mortality, of adjusting to the unexpected curves in life’s path, and of frustrations at a healthcare system that can sometimes fail people when they need it most.

DttY is a poignant journey, delicately exploring the human experience through the lens of terminal illness.
