DEAD Talks End-of-Life Encounters in Hospice: Love, Loss & The In-Between | Nurse Hadley (#109)
What really happens at the end of life? Hospice Nurse Hadley has witnessed extraordinary encounters from her patients — including moments where they saw their deceased loved ones before passing. These stories reveal as much about how we live as they do about how we die.
In this episode of DEAD Talks, Nurse Hadley joins David Ferrugio to share the lessons she’s learned from the bedside, how her own personal loss transformed her spiritual beliefs, and why she believes end-of-life care carries profound wisdom for the living. She also discusses her new book The In-Between, which offers a heartfelt look at death, dying, and the beauty found in life’s final moments.
If you’ve ever been curious about what happens in hospice, or want comfort in facing mortality, this conversation will leave you with hope and perspective.

About DEAD Talks
DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
