What Now? On the threshold of life, death, and grief.
Presented by palliative and bereavement health care professionals Julie Brown, Red Keating and David Kennedy. Dying is one of the few experiences we will all share, yet little is done in our culture to prepare us for this inevitability and it's resulting bereavement and grief. Drawing on their vast knowledge and experience each episode is a conversation meant to enlighten and demystify the often difficult and emotional experiences of dying, death and bereavement. Presented in partnership with Hospice Peterborough.
What Now? On the threshold of life, death, and grief.
S4E5 When Your Spouse/Partner Dies: The early days
In this episode we have the great honour and privilege of speaking with Kathryn Rhoden. You will remember our soulful conversation with her husband Chris Rhoden in the previous podcast episode: What Does It Mean To Live A Meaningful Life (S3E16).
Kathryn joins us to speak about her life and experiences since Chris’ death on April 25th, 2025. With grace and genuine humanity Kathryn speaks candidly about her grief, the ups and downs, the love and loneliness that have been constant companions on her grief journey.
We are positive that if you too have lost a beloved partner this conversation will connect on many levels. If you have never lost a partner you will gain valuable insight into how you can support someone who has. We are saddened by the circumstances that have led us to have this conversation but we are deeply grateful to Kathryn and her willingness to share her love for Chris and her experiences since his loss.
