Description

In this episode of Death Talk, we shine a light on the 63 million unpaid caregivers who form the invisible backbone of hospice care. From financial strain to spiritual depletion, we explore the sacred labor of those who walk the dying—often in silence, often alone. With fresh data, ancestral insight, and deathwalker reverence, we ask: What does it mean to sacrifice everything for someone else's final chapter? And how do we begin to honor those who hold vigil at the threshold?
