Palliative Talks: The Palliative Care Podcast
Talking About Death: Compassionate Care in Action with Kathy Kortes-Miller
In this episode, Kath Murray speaks with Dr. Kathy Kortes-Miller—social worker, educator, and author of Talking About Death Won’t Kill You—about rethinking how we support people living with life-limiting illnesses. Together, they explore how communication, compassion, and collaboration can shape more person-centered care in long-term and community settings. Drawing on research, lived experience, and humour, Kathy shares practical insights for healthcare workers navigating conversations about dying, death, and what matters most—including stories from hosting Die-alogues, a model similar to death Death Cafés, where people gather to talk openly (and often with laughter) about end-of-life.
