Why are families so shocked by the final days of life?

Because no one prepares them.

Dr. Debra Parker Oliver has lived hospice care three times — as a wife, a daughter, and a caregiver. And even with decades of experience, she says nothing fully prepares you when it’s your own loved one.

In this episode, she shares:
• What dying really looks and sounds like
• Why caregivers become exhausted and invisible
• The hidden suffering caused by our healthcare system
• What families wish they had known sooner

If you’re caring for someone — or ever will — this conversation will stay with you.

You are not alone. ❤️

Death is something we all avoid talking about, until we can’t.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Amanda Altobell, Director of Ethics at Mercy Springfield, joins us to challenge the idea that dying is a failure of medicine. Drawing from her work as a clinician, ethicist, and hospice provider, she shares hard truths about CPR, hospice, and why “doing everything” isn’t always the same as doing what’s right.

We talk advance directives, family conflict, what TV gets wildly wrong about end-of-life care, and why waiting to plan is often waiting too long, especially under Missouri law.

Honest, compassionate, and deeply human. If you have aging parents, work in health care, or care about dignity at the end of life, this one’s a must-listen.

What does hospice really look like and why do so many families misunderstand it? 💛

In the latest episode of In Good Company, we sit down with Kim Therriault, Director of Hospice at Haven Home Health and Hospice, to talk about what hospice truly is: choice, dignity, comfort, and control.

Kim shares a powerful story that shaped her approach to care — and breaks down why families often wait too long, how hospice supports the whole family, and why starting the conversation sooner matters.

Because hospice isn’t about giving up.
It’s about living life on your terms.
