In this episode I talk with Ryann, a nurse who has experienced a lot in the medical field and shares some wisdom concerning death. Death is often seen as this big scary thing that no one wants to talk about or face, but the peace people experience in their final moments is far greater than most people may believe and talking about it is something we should all get more comfortable with. Ryan tells about the different situations in which people or families feel more or less peace and why so many people struggle with those final moments.

“Our culture does a great job of sensationalizing death. I think they make it seem like it’s going to be this grand finale of pain and that you’re going to struggle, and it’s going to be horrible. And that’s not really the case that I’ve seen in a lot of patients that I’ve taken care of. Even if they’re having some kind of traumatic events leading up until the moment that they die, when they die it’s very peaceful.” 14:39
