Reckoning the Podcast

Ingrid Hannan

So how DO we deal with death? I think it starts with more open conversation. With more thinking about it. With more learning about how others deal with it. So here's a collection of conversations doing just that. Let’s have frank and gentle and honest conversations about death and grief and loss. Death is a part of our lives. People we love will pass on. We ourselves will pass away. So let’s wrestle with this truth and in turn, hopefully be a little more prepared for it. Let’s do some reckoning.

    28: Allowing death to change us, doctor grief, and a one-word goodbye: Ben's story

    Today's interview is with Ben, a colleague in palliative care who is now a good friend. We talk about a formative experience with his grandfather Eldon's death, which put him on a path towards becoming a doctor. And then dig in a little about the complexity of actually being a physician, including it's own unique set of losses. And then he shares about his complex relationship to losing a dear friend, and how being a doctor shaped that particular walk with end of life.
