The Patrick Madrid Show: September 17, 2024 - Hour 3

Patrick hears heartfelt stories from callers who share their personal experiences about loved ones on respirators and with tracheotomies. Their testimonies remind us of the importance of cherishing additional time with family and the spiritual benefits of being prepared for the end of life. These experiences underscore the value of extending life thoughtfully and compassionately.
