Let’s talk about death with Rosie Gaston

Aug 8 2023 • 53 mins

Today we talk about something that can make living so much more enjoyable: death. Rosie Gaston founded A Better Ending: To provide a supportive and educational space where individuals and their loved ones can best plan and prepare for an end-of-life experience that is a true reflection of their wishes and life.

This is a societal issue in our country. Talking about death and dying is often perceived as taboo and avoided as much as possible. Until you are in a position where you have to. This can often leave people feeling overwhelmed with feelings of uncertainty and grief as they navigate decisions and tasks that need to be completed. It's like being pushed in the deep end of the pool without swimming lessons. We aren’t prepared!

We can change that together and we start with our conversation today.
