In this chapter, they discuss the difficulty of facing the reality of death and the importance of having conversations about it. They mention personal experiences and share an exchange with Katie Couric where she discusses her regrets about not discussing her husband's impending death. The conversation highlights the fear and difficulty of facing mortality and expressing goodbye.
A lot of us run away from tough conversations. Anna Sale runs toward them. For nearly a decade, as the host of the podcast “Death, Sex & Money,” she has been having searching conversations about “the things we think about a lot and need to talk about more.” Today, Anna reminds us — with her trademark warmth, curiosity, and candor — how to have those difficult conversations.
