Join Katie and Kris as they delve into the world of death education with Special guest Austin Roy. Why don't we teach about something that will impact everyone? Austin, an English teacher, adjunct professor, and death education advocate, guides us through the often-overlooked aspects of teaching and learning about death, grief, and end-of-life logistics.
Discover why death education is essential in preparing people for one of life's most profound experiences and how it can empower individuals to make informed decisions. Gain insights into addressing the emotional and practical facets of death, all while exploring various cultural and spiritual perspectives.
Content warning: this episode talks about death and grief.
