Description
Palliative Care Chaplain Cody Hufstedler knows how difficult it can be for us all to acknowledge—much less talk about—the fact that we’re all born with an expiration date. He has helped countless terminally ill patients and their loved ones work through this most challenging of life’s realities.
What he’s discovered over the years is the understanding, comfort, even joy that can come through intentionally facing our finish line. Not just for those who are fast approaching it, but for everyone young or old, sick or healthy.
Cody began this podcast as a way to share these endearing and lovely stories of life, death, and dying. Far from morbid, these episodes are deeply alive explorations of life’s greatest mysteries and windows into the wonderful, human richness of living.

We are between seasons here at Dying To Tell You (Season 2 is coming this summer so subscribe to get notified!), but that isn't stopping us from talking to amazing people.
This episode is very special, a conversation with healthcare professional, internet star, and now author—Hospice Nurse Julie. Julie rose to fame during the pandemic and now millions of followers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube tune in to hear her thoughts, stories, and advice on death and the dying process.
Julie's book Nothing to Fear comes out June 11th and you can pre-order it right here! In the meantime, please enjoy this funny, thoughtful, and heartfelt conversation between Julie and Cody in which they talk about their professional healthcare experiences, Medical Aid In Dying, bad days, good deaths, and much more.
Cody and Chris listen back to memorable moments from Season One and reflect on what they've learned from six guests, multiple episodes, and so many great conversations.
Cody reflects on last week's conversation with Cia and the difference between pain and suffering.
When Cia beat breast cancer 12 years ago, she had no idea it could come back, this time in the form of angiosarcoma. Cia is equally fierce in her love and in her determination to do whatever she can to spend the most time possible with her family, and make memories that can endure beyond the time she has left.
Cody reflects on last week's conversation with Jessica Guthrie, and on how a terminal diagnosis can be something more than an ending.
When her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, Jessica became her full-time caregiver and advocate. For the past nine years, Jessica has cared for her and documented their journey through Career & Caregiving Collide™. Her story is one of deep family commitment in the face of illness and mortality, of adjusting to the unexpected curves in life’s path, and of frustrations at a healthcare system that can sometimes fail people when they need it most.
In this reflection on his conversation with Linda, Cody shares how Linda's motto of "Let That Sh*t Go" helped him through his own deeply personal loss this week.
Cody talks with Linda about her recent diagnosis with cancer, living a life of service, and letting sh*t go.
Cody sits down at the end of the year with his producer and co-creator Chris for a light-hearted holiday talk looking back, forward, and even a little bit inward. Thanks for listening to us in 2023 and we can't wait to bring you more in 2024.
It's the end of the year, when our hearts long for peace, joy, and gathering. In that spirit, Cody sat down to catch up with Nancy K, whom he last spoke with not long after her diagnosis with pancreatic cancer (for Episode #2 of DDTY).
Nancy has spent the past several months living her best life with the help of friends, family, and amazing hospice care. And it was a true honor and joy to talk with her again about life and dying.
In Episode 3.5, Cody reflects on his conversation with Nancy and what it means to choose one's own way.
Nancy B has been living with a brain tumor for nearly half of her life. Cody and Nancy actually knew each other in the teen years and now, in their 40s, they sit down to discuss her experience of living for so long with a terminal diagnosis.
Please note: there is a brief mention of suicide in this episode.
