In the second half of this two-part saga, Sandi Neiman unearths the many details and infinite aspects of the end of David's father's life. We discuss hospice, our culture’s strained relationship with death, and the painful reality of what Sandi had to face leading up to his passing. We discuss a host of topics, including body autonomy and the right to die, how our system is rigged to siphon money from patients in their final stage of life, the bastardization of Big Pharma, Sandi's grieving process, and her battle with breast cancer promptly following his death.
We touch on the remarkable advent of death doulas in our culture who do the good work of preparing those who are dying for The Last Goodbye. On the talkback, David honors his father with hilarious and touching stories about what a remarkable man his father was.
